Morphological control of cuprate superconductors using sea sponges as templates†
Functional porous superconducting sponges, consisting of YBa2Cu3O6+δ (YBCO) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO), were created by biotemplating with natural sea sponges. Naturally occurring calcium in the spongin fibers was utilized to dope YBCO and to form BSCCO without adding any external calcium source. The sample morphology was confirmed with scanning electron microscopy, and the sample composition was confirmed with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder electron diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The YBCO sponge exhibited a critical temperature (Tc) of approximately 70 K, and the BSCCO sponge showed a Tc of 77 K. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the feasibility of using sea sponges as a greener, more sustainable template for superconductor synthesis.
