Abstract

This work covers the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) technologies based on the highlights in recent achievements in the applied HTS field in China. Its comprehensive coverage includes practical HTS material manufacturing and characterization, large-scale applications, and electronic applications. The applied HTS technologies have been well enabled to build applicable devices, and their characteristics have been well verified in the HTS devices developed to be industrialized for practical applications. The highlighted HTS devices and their performance details reveal the trend and the necessary improvement required to reach the goal of industrial applications of HTS technologies.
