Element superconductors with the single atoms provide clean and fundamental platforms for studying superconduc-tivity.Although elements with d electrons are usually not favored by conventional BCS,the record superconducting critical temperature(Tc)in element scandium(Sc)has further ignited the intensive attention on transition metals.The element molybdenum(Mo)with a half-full d-orbital is studied in our work,which fills the gap in the study of Mo under high pres-sure and investigates the pressure dependence of superconductivity.In this work,we exhibit a robust superconductivity of Mo in the pressure range of 5 GPa to 160 GPa via high-pressure electrical transport measurements,the Tc varies at a rate of 0.013 K/GPa to 8.56 K at 160 GPa.Moreover,the superconductivity is evidenced by the Tc shifting to lower temperature under applied magnetic fields,and the upper critical magnetic fields are extrapolated by the WHH equation and GL equa-tion;the results indicate that the maximum upper critical magnetic field is estimated to be 8.24 T at 137 GPa.We further investigate the superconducting mechanism of Mo,the theoretical calculations indicate that the superconductivity can be attributed to the strong coupling between the electrons from the partially filled d band and the phonons from the frequency zone of 200-400 cm-1.
