• Microkinetic analysis is used to screen perovskites for methane partial oxidation. • The catalytic activity varies in the order LaMnO 3 > LaFeO 3 > LaCoO 3 ≈ LaCrO 3. • Bulk oxygen vacancy formation energy is identified as a single descriptor. • 667 combinations of A- and B-cations have been screened in terms of stability. • SrRuO 3 , SmRhO 3 , LaIrO 3 , NdRhO 3 , and BaOsO 3 are identified as catalyst candidates. DFT calculations and descriptor-based microkinetic analysis have been performed to screen ABO 3 perovskite catalysts for methane partial oxidation. The scaling relations indicate the adsorption energies of H@O and CH 3 @B have the capability of representing the energetics of methane oxidation, and bulk oxygen vacancy formation energy is identified to be a better single descriptor of the kinetics. The resultant volcano-shaped plot shows the catalytic activity varies in the order LaMnO 3 > LaFeO 3 > LaCoO 3 ≈ LaCrO 3 , which agrees with the experimental findings and thus validates our theoretical predications. By screening 667 combinations of A- and B-cations based on electron neutrality, structural tolerance factors, and experimental verification, 77 ABO 3 have been identified to be stable. Of them, SrRuO 3 , SmRhO 3 , LaIrO 3 , NdRhO 3 , and BaOsO 3 are located at the summit of the volcano, which also exhibit satisfactory CO selectivity and enhanced carbon resistance compared to LaFeO 3 , and may act as the oxygen carrier candidates.
