## Abstract

Abstract Hydrogen atoms can provide high phonon frequencies and strong electron–phonon coupling in hydrogen-rich materials, which are believed to be potential high-temperature superconductors at lower pressure than metallic hydrogen. Especially, recently both of theoretical and experimental reports on sulfur hydrides under pressure exhibiting superconductivity at temperatures as high as 200 K have further stimulated an intense search for room-temperature superconductors in hydrides. This review focuses on crystal structures, stabilities, pressure-induced transformations, metallization, and superconductivity of hydrogen-rich materials at high pressures.
