In the paper, we analyze the thermodynamic properties of high-temperature superconducting state induced in the PbH4(H2)2 compound under the pressure of 200 GPa. We have shown that the critical temperature TC varies from 81 K to 121 K, for the Coulomb pseudopotential μ*∈⟨0.1,0.3⟩. Due to the significant retardation and strongly coupling effects, the values of other thermodynamic parameters differ significantly from the predictions of mean-field BCS theory. The results have been obtained in the self-consistent manner under the Eliashberg formalism.
