Lanthanum decahydride is a polyhydride or superhydride compound of lanthanum and hydrogen (LaH10) that has shown evidence of being a high-temperature superconductor. It was the first metal superhydride to be theoretically predicted[3][4], synthesized [5], and experimentally confirmed[6] to superconduct at near room-temperatures. It has a superconducting transition temperature TC around 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) at a pressure of 150 gigapascals (22×10^6 psi), and its synthesis required pressures above approximately 160 gigapascals (23×10^6 psi).[7][8]

Synopsis

Since its discovery, the superconducting properties of LaH10 and other lanthanum-based superhydrides have been experimentally confirmed in multiple independent experiments[9][10][11][12]. The compound exhibits a Meissner effect below the superconducting transition temperature.[13] A cubic form can be synthesized at 1,000 K (730 °C; 1,340 °F),[7] and a hexagonal crystal structure can be formed at room temperature.[14] Further reports indicate Tc is increased with nitrogen doping [15], and decreased with the introduction of magnetic impurities [16].

The cubic form has each lanthanum atom surrounded by 32 hydrogen atoms, which form the vertices of an 18-faced shape called a chamfered cube.[17]

A similar compound, lanthanum boron octahydride, was computationally predicted to be a superconductor at 126 K (−147 °C; −233 °F) and pressure 50 gigapascals (7.3×10^6 psi).[18]
