Abstract

We present high-pressure resistance measurements up to 40 GPa on recently discovered titanium-based kagome metal CsTi3_3Bi5_5. At ambient pressure, CsTi3_3Bi5_5 shows no evidence of superconductivity in resistivity and specific heat. By applying pressure, superconductivity emerges and the superconducting transition temperature Tc{\it T}_{\rm c} reaches its first maximum of 1.2 K at \sim5 GPa. Then the Tc{\it T}_{\rm c} is suppressed by pressure and cannot be detected around 10 GPa, manifesting as a superconducting dome. Remarkably, upon further increasing pressure above \sim13 GPa, another superconducting dome shows up, with the maximum Tc{\it T}_{\rm c} of 0.6 K and ending pressure at \sim36 GPa. The variation of Tc{\it T}_{\rm c} displays a clear double-dome shape in the superconducting phase diagram. Our work demonstrates the similarity between CsTi3_3Bi5_5 and CsV3_3Sb5_5, providing valuable insights into the rich physics of these novel kagome metals.
