Sulfur-stabilized liquid marbles were readily prepared by rolling water droplets on a sulfur (S8) powder bed. Because of the construction of a gel layer on the surface of liquid marbles, the resulting liquid marbles have shape-designable characteristics. The effects of rolling time and volume of droplets on the deformability of sulfur-stabilized liquid marbles were investigated along with their mechanical stability and lifetime. The capability of sulfur-stabilized liquid marbles to be deformed at different pH values enables these liquid marbles to act as microreservoirs with desired shapes for aqueous solutions. Immersing the sulfur-stabilized liquid marbles into organic liquids leads to an increase in the liquid marbles’ lifetime, and thereby they can survive at the interface of aqueous−organic two-phased systems for a long time. Finally, the applications of sulfur-stabilized liquid marbles as photocatalytic microreactors, electrochemical microcells, and monodisperse Pickering-like emulsions were demonstrated.
