Why some superconductors have a large λ but a low Tc? Is it because mass renormalization dominates in these systems?

What are the underlying factors that contribute to certain superconductors exhibiting a high electron-phonon coupling constant (λ) while having a comparatively low critical temperature (Tc), and is this disparity primarily attributed to mass renormalization effects dominating in these specific syste...

Why some superconductors have a large λ but a low Tc? Is it because mass renormalization dominates in these systems?

Can the discrepancy between the large electron-phonon coupling constant (λ) and the low critical temperature (Tc) in certain superconductors be attributed to the dominance of mass renormalization effects rather than conventional pairing mechanisms?
