Recently Kawashima has reported that, when wetted with alkanes, several formsof graphite and single-layer graphene exhibit superconductor-like propertiesabove room temperature under ambient pressure [AIP Adv. 2013, 3, 052132;arXiv:1612.05294; arXiv:1801.09376]. Under the assumption that these seeminglyunlikely properties arise from the presence of paired electrons brought aboutby the alkane-wetting, we explored their implications to arrive at a probablemechanism for strong electron-pairing driven by Fermi surface nesting andacoustic phonon. This mechanism explains why alkane-wetting is essential forthe graphene systems to become superconductor-like above room temperature andwhy the Tc of alkane-wetted pitch-based graphite fibers increases almostlinearly from 363 to 504 K with increasing the molecular weight of alkane fromheptane to hexadecane. It also provides a number of experimentally-verifiablepredictions, the confirmation of which will provide a strong support for thesuperconductivity driven by Fermi surface nesting and acoustic phonon.
