The invention relates to a
superconducting material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of functional material manufacturing. The
chemical formula of the
superconducting material is CuxNbSe2-ySy (0<=x=y<=0.1). The preparation method is a traditional high-temperature
solid-
phase method. Simple substances Cu, Nb, Se and S in a stoichiometric ratio are fully ground, vacuumized and sealed in a
quartz tube, then the
quartz tube is vacuumized and sealed at high temperature, finally, the sealed
quartz tube containing the raw materials is placed in a furnace to be sintered for four days at 850 DEG C to obtain polycrystalline
powder of CuxNbSe2-ySy (0<=x=y<=0.1), then the obtained polycrystalline
powder and a simple
iodine substance are put into the quartz tube in the
mass ratio of 20:1, the tube is placed in a tubular furnace after being vacuumized and sealed to be subjected to heat preservation for seven days, and single crystals of corresponding components are obtained, wherein the tubular furnace is provided with
two temperature areas with the temperatures of 700 DEG C and 600 DEG C at the two ends. The physical properties, mainly including
conductivity,the magnetic property, the
heat capacity and the like, of the
superconducting material are tested through a
physical property measurement
system (PPMS), and finally, it is determined that a target product has
superconductivity. The superconducting material is applied to the aspects such as
electric power, communication, high-tech equipment and military equipment, and has an indispensable effect and important strategic significance.
