Electrochemical Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Organic Ion Intercalated Superconductor (TMA)0.5Fe2Se2 with Tc = 43 K

Abstract: Intercalation of organic cations in superconducting iron selenide can significantly increase the critical temperature (T c ). We present an electrochemical method using β-FeSe crystals (T c ≈ 8 K) floating on mercury as cathode to intercalate tetramethyl ammonium ions (TMA + ) quantitatively and yielding bulk samples of (TMA) 0.5 Fe 2 Se 2 with T c = 43 K. The layered crystal structure is closely related to the ThCr 2 Si 2 -type with disordered TMA + ions on the Th position between the FeSe layers. Although th… Show more

“…Wie Hoch und Johrendt zeigen, lässt sich Tetramethylammonium (TMA) in β-FeSe-Einkristalle auf einer Quecksilberelektrode interkalieren, und zwar aus Lösung. 51) Dabei steigt in der gewonnenen Verbindung (TMA) 0,5 Fe 2 Se 2 die kritische Temperatur T c von 8 K auf 43 K.…”

“…Tetramethylammonium ions (TMA + ) were intercalated into β‐FeSe to obtain the intercalation compound (TMA) 0.5 Fe 2 Se 2 . [ 178 ] The intercalation compound has a structure in I 2m space group, and two of H atoms in the CH 3 groups form hydrogen bridges with Se atoms as shown in Figure 13f. The superconducting transition temperature of (TMA) 0.5 Fe 2 Se 2 is around 43 K (Figure 13g).…”

“…Here, the intercalation process is alkali metal free, and the chalcogenide matrix is reduced in an electrochemical intercalation process. Currently, three materials intercalated with the following cations such as cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) (Shi et al, 2018 ) with T c = 45 K, tetrabutylammonium (TBA) with record high T c = 50 K, and the third one intercalated with tetramethylammonium (TMA) (Rendenbach et al, 2021 ) showing T c = 43 K, obtained by this method are known. All of them are characterized by critical temperatures comparable to iron selenides intercalated with ammonia/amine solvates of alkali metals, and the presence of organic cations only between the layers of the inorganic host.…”
