Here, we report a systematic study on the thermally driven oxidation behavior of liquid-metal-printed gallium films and its decisive role in inducing a conductive-to-insulating transition for two-dimensional (2D) electronics. Ultrathin gallium-based films were prepared through a dewetting-enabled printing process under ambient conditions, yielding smooth and transferable films with single-layer thicknesses of ∼4.5 nm. The as-printed films exhibit partial surface oxidation while retaining residual metallic gallium, resulting in conductive vertical transport. Pure oxygen exposure at room temperature leads mainly to surface adsorption of oxygen species and fails to achieve complete oxidation. In contrast, thermal annealing in oxygen-containing atmosphere progressively converts metallic Ga into gallium oxide, as evidenced by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High-temperature treatment further induces crystallization into polycrystalline<i>β</i>-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, confirmed by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Consequently, the printed films undergo a pronounced conductive-to-insulating transition, exhibiting pA-level leakage current, and a dielectric constant of ∼4.2. When integrated as gate dielectrics in back-gated MoS<sub>2</sub>field-effect transistors, the devices deliver an on/off ratio of ∼10<sup>6</sup>and a minimum subthreshold swing of 74 mV dec<sup>-1</sup>.

However, the inherently porous microstructure of PDCs, often exacerbated by AM, significantly degrades their mechanical performance, posing a major scientific and technological challenge. In this work, we investigate the mechanical reinforcement of 3D-printed PDCs using boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Incorporating a small amount of BNNTs (up to 0.3 wt.%) into polymer-derived silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) fabricated by digital light processing substantially improves bulk mechanical properties. Compared with pure PDC pyrolyzed at 1000 °C, the 0.3 wt.% BNNT-PDC annealed at 1400 °C exhibits approximately 106% higher flexural modulus, 120% higher flexural strength, and 272% higher hardness. The maximum toughness is obtained for the 0.3 wt.% BNNT-PDC pyrolyzed at 1000 °C, representing an approximately 148% improvement over pure PDC processed at the same temperature. These enhancements are attributed to the synergistic effects of direct BNNT reinforcement, nanotube-matrix interactions, BNNT-mediated microstructural evolution, and high-temperature-induced evolution of the ceramic matrix.
