Abstract
Finding a new derivative structure of FeSe-based superconductors with a high superconducting transition temperature () is of great significance. Here, in this work, an organic-ion-[cetyltrimethyl ammonium ()]-intercalated FeSe-based superconductor with as high as 45 K is synthesized by an electrochemical intercalation method. The as-prepared has a hybrid crystal structure consisting of double layers of and one layer of FeSe, which is consistent with a lateral-bilayer model. The superconductivity of is confirmed by magnetic susceptibility. Furthermore, a negative pressure effect on superconductivity K/GPa is observed. This is the first pure organic-ion-intercalated FeSe-based superconductor with a high and high crystallinity. Our work offers a new method to modify the interface interaction between the FeSe layer and the intercalator, and sheds new light on finding new FeSe-based superconductors with higher .
