  • Owing to their expected capability to reach metallization within the pressure range under the present laboratory conditions, hydrogen-rich compounds are considered promising candidates for potential high-Tc (superconductor critical temperature) superconductors.Both experimental and theoretical research have found that the critical high-temperature superconductivity can reach a record high-Tc as up to 203 K in compressed sulfur hydrides, thereby generating a new wave for searching for new hydrogen-rich superconductors.The present review focuses on researches of pressure-induced metallization and novel superconductivity in chalcogen hydrides, and discusses their differences in structures and various physical and chemical properties.Chalcogen atoms are isoelectronic but differ a lot in atomic mass and electronegativity, resulting in their great differences in stoichiometry, structure, and chemical bonding.The high-Tc superconductivity of Te/Po-H compounds originates from the strong electron-phonon couplings associated with the intermediate frequency of H-derived wagging and bending modes, a superconducting mechanism which differs substantially from those in S/Se-H compounds where the high frequency H-stretching vibrations make considerable contributions.
