Abstract	Degradation of the 90 K superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ in water and humid atmosphere were studied and its decomposition products were identified as BaCO3, CuO, Y2(CO3)3·3H2O and O2·XRD analysis, iodometric titration and IR-spectroscopy of the degraded samples suggest that the YBa2Cu3O7-δ decomposes in three steps such as the reduction of Cu3+ to Cu2+, followed by the hydroxylation of Ba2+ and Y3+ via hydration and finally the formation of carbonates through the uptake of ambient CO2.
