Density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations within the generalised gradient approximation (GGA) were used to examine the behaviour of point defects in the cubic BO perovskite-type oxide, ReO. Energies of reduction and of hydration were calculated, and the results are compared with literature data for ABO perovskite oxides. The activation energies of migration were determined for O, H, Li, Na, K and HO. An occupied A site in ReO is found to be beneficial to oxide-ion migration by a vacancy mechanism as well as to proton migration by a Grotthuss mechanism. Na, K and HO exhibit activation energies of migration higher than 2 eV, whereas Li is characterised by a very low migration barrier of 0.1 eV. Reasons for this behaviour are discussed. Our results suggest that H, O, and especially Li, are highly mobile ions in ReO.

In the era of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, data storage has an important impact on the future development direction of data analysis. Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are the research hotspot in the era of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things. Perovskite-type rare-earth metal oxides are common functional materials and considered promising candidates for RRAM devices because their interesting electronic properties depend on the interaction between oxygen ions, transition metals, and rare-earth metals.

Perovskite-type solid electrolytes exhibit a diverse range of conductive properties due to the competition and coupling of multiple degrees of freedom. In perovskite structures, B-site and X-site ions form topological octahedral sublattices, which are instrumental in regulating transport properties for various charge carriers. However, research focused on the relationship between octahedral distortion and conductive properties in perovskite-type proton conductors remains limited.
