Abstract
In this work we demonstrate that the experimentally measured area specific resistance and oxygen surface exchange of solid oxide fuel cell cathode perovskites are strongly correlated with the first-principles calculated oxygen p-band center and vacancy formation energy. These quantities are therefore descriptors of catalytic activity that can be used in the first-principles design of new SOFC cathodes.
