Abstract

The polycrystalline FeSe bulks were sintered by solid-state reaction using a two-step sintering process to investigate the effect of graphene addition on the superconductivity and microstructure of the FeSe bulks. With the increase of graphene doping, the thickness of tetragonal β-FeSe sheet decreased obviously due to the existence of graphene between the layers. The grain connectivity of FeSe superconductor is significantly improved, and the critical transition temperature (Tc) is apparently enhanced up to 10.57 K in Fe1.01SeG0.05, which increased by 15.3% compared to the Fe1.01Se bulk without doping graphene. The critical current density (Jc) of Fe1.01SeG0.05 reaches 5 × 103 A/cm2 under zero magnetic field. Moreover, the critical current density (Jc) of Fe1.01SeG0.05 is simultaneously increased under high magnetic field due to the refined grains by graphene doping.
