Superconducting magnets based on high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) have become critical components in cutting-edge technologies such as advanced medical applications. In HTSs, weak links of superconductivity are inevitable at high-angle grain boundaries (GBs). Thus, two adjacent grains should be crystallographically aligned within the critical angle (θc), for which the intergrain critical current density (Jc) starts to decrease exponentially. The θc of several iron-based superconductors (IBSs) is larger than that of cuprates. However, the decreases in both θc and intergrain Jc under magnetic fields for IBSs are still substantial, hampering their applications in polycrystalline forms. Here, we report that potassium-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba122:K) exhibits superior GB performance to that of previously reported IBSs. A transport Jc of over 0.1 MA/cm2 across [001]-tilt GBs with misorientation angles up to θGB = 24° was recorded even at 28 K, which is a required level for practical applications. Additionally, even in an applied magnetic field, θc was unaltered, and the decay of the intergrain Jc was small. Our results highlight the exceptional potential of Ba122:K for polycrystalline applications and pave the way for next-generation superconducting magnets.
