摘要
Hydrogen, the lightest element in the periodic table, has been predicted to metalize under extreme compression. Metallic hydrogen is believed to be a room-temperature superconductor. Due to the considerable experimental challenges of reaching such a state, the metallic hydrogen has often been deemed the holy grail of condensed matter physics. It was then predicted that hydrogen-rich hydrides could also become superconductors with high critical temperatures (Tc) at substantially lower pressures than that of pure hydrogen. In the past decade, there has been significant progress in this field of research from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. An exemplary of these research efforts is the recent superconducting binary hydride with a record Tc of ∼260 K, a promising result for the eventual discovery of a room-temperature superconductor. This review summarizes significant developments in the studies of binary hydrides at high pressure that were predicted to exhibit superconductivity. In particular, those that have been experimentally verified or have calculated Tc > 100 K. Such hydrides are often characterized by unique, hydrogen-rich stoichiometry and interesting structural arrangements. This recent progress in the field allows a modern perspective on the potential of reaching a room temperature superconducting state.
