A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material capable of displaying superconductivity above 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F), operating temperatures which are commonly encountered in everyday settings. As of 2023, the material with the highest accepted superconducting temperature was highly pressurized lanthanum decahydride, whose transition temperature is approximately 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) at 150 GPa.
Room temperature superconductivity (RTS) has been one of the grand challenges of condensed matter physics since the BCS theory of pairing (see Sec. II.A) was proposed and its
Room-temperature superconductors have the same properties but can operate in temperatures that can be maintained in a normal environment.
A room temperature superconductor would likely cause dramatic changes for energy transmission and storage. It will likely have more, indirect effects by
Room-temperature superconductors would allow for lossless electricity transmission over long distances. This could lead to a more efficient
While superconductors are not considered an energy material, the energy savings arising from resistance-free transmission and distribution of
Recent advancements in the field of superconductivity suggest that the once elusive goal of room-temperature superconductors may be within our grasp. Reports from 2024 and 2025 indicate
Solar cell performance decreases with increasing temperature, fundamentally owing to increased internal carrier recombination rates, caused by increased carrier concentrations. The
The impact of room temperature superconductors on photovoltaic home energy storage systems is mainly reflected in improving energy storage efficiency and increasing system reliability.
