Organic Superconductor: Advantages Over Conventional & High Tc

In summary, an organic superconductor is a material made up of organic molecules that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures. It has advantages over conventional superconductors, such as lower cost and greater flexibility, but high temperature superconductors have a higher critical temperature. Potential applications for organic superconductors include energy storage and quantum computing, but there are challenges in achieving higher critical temperatures and optimizing them for specific uses.

Maybe less exotic elements (and less expensive). However the critical temperatures seem to be pretty low so far.
 

What is an organic superconductor?

An organic superconductor is a material made up of organic molecules that is capable of conducting electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures. This is different from conventional superconductors, which are usually made up of inorganic materials.

What are the advantages of organic superconductors over conventional superconductors?

Organic superconductors have several advantages over conventional superconductors, including their lower cost and greater flexibility. They are also easier to synthesize and can be made into thinner films, making them more suitable for use in electronic devices.

How do organic superconductors compare to high temperature superconductors?

High temperature superconductors, also known as high Tc superconductors, have a higher critical temperature (the temperature at which they become superconducting) than organic superconductors. This means that they can operate at higher temperatures, which makes them more practical for use in everyday applications. However, organic superconductors have advantages in terms of cost and flexibility.

What are some potential applications for organic superconductors?

Organic superconductors have potential applications in a wide range of fields, including energy storage, quantum computing, and medical imaging. They can also be used to create more efficient and lightweight electronic devices.

What are the challenges in developing and using organic superconductors?

One of the main challenges in using organic superconductors is achieving higher critical temperatures. Additionally, the synthesis and processing of these materials can be complex and time-consuming. Furthermore, there is still much to be learned about the fundamental properties of organic superconductors and how they can be optimized for specific applications.
