Abstract

Superconductivity has long been a subject of fascination and promise in the field of condensed matter physics, offering the potential for revolutionary advancements in energy storage, transportation, and beyond. This paper explores recent advancements in superconductivity, with a focus on the transition from traditional low-temperature superconductors to high-temperature materials and their applications in energy storage systems. Beginning with an overview of the principles underlying superconductivity, we delve into the discovery and development of high-temperature superconductors, which exhibit critical temperatures above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. We discuss the unique properties of these materials, including their robustness and compatibility with practical applications. Furthermore, we examine the emergence of novel superconducting devices and technologies for energy storage, such as superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems and superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs). Through a comprehensive analysis of recent research findings and technological advancements, this paper elucidates the potential of superconductivity to revolutionize the landscape of energy storage and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
