The superconducting effect of LK99 seems to top out at around 150 mA / cm^2. Maybe more research will bear fruit here, but for now we're not looking at HVDC lines.

To my knowledge, that number from the original researchers and no one has yet independently verified it.

External researchers have not even begun to purify and test the limits of this material.

It's the most strange figure from that whole paper, there is just so little context for it.
