We report the charge doping of KCr₃As₃ via H intercalation. We show that the previously reported ethanol bath deintercalation of K₂Cr₃As₃ to KCr₃As₃ has a secondary effect whereby H from the bath enters the quasi-one-dimensional Cr6As6 chains. Furthermore, we find that—contrary to previous interpretations—the difference between nonsuperconducting as-grown KCr₃As₃ samples and superconducting hydrothermally annealed samples is not a change in crystallinity but due to charge doping, with the latter treatment increasing the H concentration in the CrAs tubes, effectively electron doping the 133 compound. These results suggest another stoichiometry KHxCr₃As₃, that superconductivity arises from a suppressed magnetic order via a tunable parameter and paves the way for a charge-doped phase diagram in these materials.
