The BCS superconducting theory, introduced by J. Bardeen, L. Cooper and R. Schriffer in 1957, succeeded in describing and satis-factorily explaining the nature of superconductivity for low-temperature superconductors. However, the BCS theory cannot explain the properties of high-temperature superconductors, discovered by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Müller in 1986. Although scientists have found a lot of new superconductors and their transition temperatures are constantly increasing, most high-temperature superconductors are found by experiment and so far no theory can fully explain their properties. Many previous studies have suggested that the order parameter in high-temperature copper-based superconductors (cuprate superconductors - cuprates) is in the form of d-wave symmetry, but recent results show that the order parameter has an extended s-wave symmetry (extended s wave). Studying the symmetric forms of order parameters in cuprate can contribute to understanding the nature of high-temperature superconductivity. In this article, the authors present an overview of the development of high-temperature supercon-ductors over the past 30 years and explains unusual symmetries of the order parameter in copper-based superconductors. The com-petition of three coupling mechanisms of electrons in cuprates (the mechanism of coupling through coulomb repulsion, electron-phonon mechanism and spin-fluctuation mechanism) affects the unusual symmetry of the order parameter. The solution of the self-consistency equation in simple cases has been found and the ability to move the phase within the superconducting state has been shown.
