Rapid Sonochemical Synthesis of an Intercalated Superconductor

The synthesis of new superconducting materials is a perennially topic of intense interest since the discovery of superconducting materials. To capture possible superconductors abundantly and effectively, wet-chemical technique, as one of the most common chemical synthesis method, has been introduced to seek new superconductors and achieved great success in almost every category. However, conventional liquid-phase method imposes requirements on the undesirable reaction time, which dramatically sacrifices the innovative efficiency of superconductors. To facilitate the synthesis process, through the application of sonochemical method, here we successfully bulid a fast-synthesis and easy-implementation procedure to explore intercalated superconductors.
