Lanthanum decahydride

Lanthanum decahydride is a polyhydride or superhydride compound of lanthanum and hydrogen (LaH10) that shows promise of being a high-temperature superconductor. It has a superconducting transition temperature TC ~ 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) at a pressure of 150 gigapascals (GPa), and its synthesis required pressures above ~160 GPa. A cubic form can be synthezised at 1,000 K (730 °C; 1,340 °F), and a hexagonal crystal structure can be formed at room temperature.
