After room temperature superconductivity was achieved in high-pressure C-S hydride,the next challenge is to identify new strategies to achieve high-tc superconductivity at room pressure.
In this talk, I will propose several strategies, based on the conventional (electron-phonon) mechanism: doping of complex hydrides, new covalent metallic structures of boron and carbon,[3] optimization of binary hydrides.[4]
