Abstract

Abstract

Hydrogen-rich materials are considered to be the most potential candidates for room-temperature superconductors, yielding a research hotspot in physics, material science and so on. Remarkably, the new covalent hydride H₃S and clathrate like LaH₁₀, exhibit record high superconducting transition temperature (T_c) above 200 K both found theoretically and experimentally, which further promotes the study on the superconductivity of hydrogen-rich compounds. Very recently, the successful experimental discovery of high-temperature superconductivity at 288 K in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride system at high pressure shows the light for achieving room-temperature superconductors. In this paper, we introduce the structures and superconductivities of three typical hydrogen-rich compounds, including HfH₁₀, a "pentagraphenelike" superconductor exhibiting an extraordinarily high T_c of around 213–234 K at 250 GPa, which was recently discovered for the first time in layered structure hydrides.
