Abstract We obtain the superfluid weight and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition temperature for highly unconventional superconducting states with the coexistence of chiral d-wave superconductivity, charge density waves and pair density waves in the strained graphene. Our results show that the strain-induced flat bands can promote the superconducting transition temperature approximately 50 % compared to that of the original doped graphene, which suggests that the flat-band superconductivity is a potential route to get superconductivity with higher critical temperatures. In particular, we obtain the superfluid weight for the pure superconducting pair-density-wave states from which the deduced superconducting transition temperature is shown to be much lower than the gap-opening temperature of the pair density wave, which is helpful to understand the phenomenon of the pseudogap state in high- T c cuprate superconductors. Finally, we show that the BKT transition temperature versus doping for strained graphene exhibits a dome-like shape and it depends linearly on the spin-spin interaction strength.
