Superconducting material and method of preparation thereof

Abstract

A superconducting material is described. The superconducting material includes a rare-earth barium copper oxide (ReBCO) matrix, 0.01 to 0.5 weight percentage (wt. %), WO3 nanoparticles, based on the total weight of superconducting material, and 0.01 to 0.5 wt. % barium titanate nanoparticles, based on the total weight of superconducting material. A method of making superconducting material is also described. The method includes mixing WO3 nanoparticles, barium titanate nanoparticles, and ReBCO particles to form a particulate mixture; pressing the particulate mixture at a pressure of 500 to 1000 megapascals (MPa) to form a solid sample; and heating the solid sample at 800 to 1100 degrees centigrade (° C.) for 1 to 24 hours to form the superconducting material.
