Abstract First‐principles calculations were carried out to examine the chemical stability and proton conductivity of A‐site‐doped BaZrO 3 . In a previous study, we investigated these two properties of B‐site‐doped BaZrO 3 . [ RSC Adv. 3 [10] 3333‐3341 (2013)] Here, we investigated BaZrO 3 doped with K, Rb, and Cs at A‐sites. We found that K‐doped BaZrO 3 showed the highest proton conductivity and chemical stability among the examined A‐site dopants with respect to the carbonate formation reaction. Remarkably, there is a lack of a trade‐off relationship between chemical stability and proton conductivity in A‐site‐doped BaZrO 3 .
