Stable fluorine-free superconducting solutions

Multifunctional colloidal ink and microstructure analysis of the nanoparticles included The introduction of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) in flexible tapes, specifically Coated Conductors (CCs) allowed their industrial implementation. Our researchers developed a new technique to produce CCs, the Transient Liquid Assisted Growth-Chemical Solution Deposition (TLAG-CSD). This technique is 100 fold faster than currently used techniques. A key point of the technique is the production of the solution ink that will create the superconducting layer in the CCS.

We present a novel class of environmentally friendly solutions and colloidal solutions with higher stability. The use of these solutions increases the structural homogeneity of the superconducting film and their performance.
