Abstract

High-throughput first-principles calculations are performed on ABO 3 perovskites for new thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials. We present systematic investigations comprised of multiple selection criteria to achieve the prediction of target materials. A database including mechanical/thermal properties of 190 perovskites is initially established. Six perovskites are proposed as novel TBC materials with predicted thermal conductivities under 1.25 W/(m·K) and good damage tolerance. The observed anisotropy of thermal conductivity provides possibilities for the performance controlling via the growth orientation design. The adopted strategy and established database are expected to inspire the design of ABO 3 -based TBC materials and future structural material investigations.
