This article discusses an effective method for obtaining superconducting composites based on Y1Ba2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) by optimizing the total preparation time in comparison with similar scientific works while searching for effective modifying micro-additives. YBCO-based composites were doped with microparticles of aluminum, nickel, and iron. It was established that the initial ratio of green components, heat treatment, and holding time directly affect the qualitative and quantitative formation of the useful superconducting phase Y123, which in turn affects the basic superconducting properties of the final material.
