description Oxygen permeation membranes (OPMs) are regarded as promising technology for pure oxygen production. Among various materials for OPMs, perovskite oxides with mixed electron and oxygen-ion (e<sup>−</sup>/O<sup>2−</sup>) conducting capability have attracted particular interest because of the high O<sup>2−</sup> conductivity and structural/compositional flexibility. However, BaCoO<sub>3−<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">δ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula></sub>-based perovskites as one of the most investigated OPMs suffer from low oxygen permeation rate and inferior structural stability in CO<sub>2</sub>-containing atmospheres. Herein, zirconium and yttrium co-doped BaCoO<sub>3−<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">δ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula></sub> (BaCo<sub>1−2x</sub>Zr<sub>x</sub>Y<sub>x</sub>O<sub>3−<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">δ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula></sub>, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) are designed and developed for efficient and stable OPMs by stabilizing the crystal structure of BaCoO<sub>3−<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">δ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula></sub>.
