Adding to this point of view, superconducting materials are desired materials due to their properties as the zero resistivity. However, besides the synthesis of ceramic superconductors are very known, the chemical ones, as the Pechini method, takes several steps and hours to produce the final precursor solution. Thus, in this work, we described the one-pot synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7-? superconducting ceramic. In only two steps and in a few hours, a polymer composite solution was prepared, which originates a powder after burning the polymer out and with pure phase and with superconducting properties as good as or better those ones produced by other techniques. This technique can also be applied to produce other ceramic.
