Recent advances in silver oxide-based superconductors: characterization, challenges and theoretical progress

Recent advancements in superconductivity have generated significant interest in silver oxide-based materials due to their potential for unconventional superconducting mechanisms and unique electronic properties. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent progress in the synthesis, characterization and theoretical modeling of these superconductors. Experimental techniques such as hydrothermal, sol-gel and solid-state methods are critically assessed, highlighting key challenges in achieving the desired composition, crystal structure and phase purity. Additionally, the integration of density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful approach for predicting novel silver oxide superconductors with improved properties, with recent models identifying candidate materials with potential Tc values exceeding 50 K. Despite these promising developments, significant challenges remain, particularly concerning large-scale production, material stability and superconducting phase optimization. By integrating experimental insights with computational advancements, this review outlines key directions for future research, aiming to accelerate the discovery and practical implementation of silver oxide-based superconductors for energy, quantum computing and electronic applications.
