Abstract
In a previous theoretical study [B. Grimm and T. Bredow, Oxygen Defect Formation Thermodynamics of CaMnO3: A Closer Look. Phys. Status Solidi B 2022, https://doi.org/10.1002/pssb.202200427], the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties of have been studied. The present study increases the range of compounds to ternary perovskites in a search for suitable anode materials for high‐temperature water electrolysis. compounds containing the abundant elements A = Mg,Ca,Sr and B = Ti,Mn,Cr,Fe,Mo are studied theoretically on hybrid density functional theory level. Criteria for a suitable electrode material are low‐oxygen defect formation energy and high reaction energy for decomposition into other phases. Based on these criteria, the most suitable perovskites are chosen as starting points to create stable mixed compounds. The compound δ is found to be the optimal choice as electrode material, with an oxygen defect concentration of at least δ present at 520 K and highly endothermic decomposition reactions.
