Journal of Materials Chemistry C

Orientated hydrogen chains favor superconductivity in germanium sulfur hydrides.

Hydrogen-rich compounds, as the closest to room-temperature superconductors discovered in recent years, have attracted the research interest of scientists. Especially the recent theory-orientated discovery of record high-temperature superconductivity ( T c ∼330 K) in clathrate CeH 18 is an important advance toward room-temperature superconductors. In this work, we systematically investigated the phase diagram, stability, and superconducting properties of GeSH x compounds (x=7, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16) under compression. Here we report a superconductive structure of GeSH 14 with P 2 1 / m space group, possessing a predicted critical temperature T c of 128 K at 180 GPa. Strikingly, the P 2 1 / m GeSH 14 is composed of orientated hydrogen chains bridging the adjacent Ge-S-H polyhedron layers, which is distinctly different from the typical clathrate structure in most high-Tc hydrides. Moreover, the hydrogen components mainly exist in the form of covalent atomic chains, which is crucial for stabilizing the hydrogen-rich compound, and favorable for the superconductivity. The role of hydrogen atomic chains in the superconductivity is investigated extensively, and the superconducting mechanism of high- T c is further explored. This work provides a new way of searching for high-temperature hydrogen-rich superconductors.
