Superheavy elements are those with high atomic number, beginning with element 104 (Rf). The research of superheavy elements is frontier topics in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry. The present status of synthesis of superheavy elements is introduced, including the three synthesis methods——“hot fusion”, “cold-fusion” and “warm fusion” and the discovery of a new chemical element with atomic number Z=117. The current gas chemistry experimental studies of element 108 and element 112 are discussed in detail. And the prospects of the development of superheavy elements are also reviewed.
