Wikipedia quote A:
First, Crusoe burns some coal-like rocks for warmth and accidentally discovers that heating them gives off oxygen. This allows him to refill his air tank and move around in the thin atmosphere.
Wikipedia quote B:
Lithium perchlorate, which decomposes exothermically to give oxygen, is used in oxygen "candles" on spacecraft, submarines and in other esoteric situations where a reliable backup or supplementary oxygen supply is needed.

From the press briefing a few minutes ago ...
"We have substantial evidence that our soil samples has perchlorates." On Earth, the substances are found in the Atacama desert, a common analog for Mars study. Smith says, "They are highly stable and do not destroy life under normal conditions. In fact, there are microbes that live on the energy contained by this oxidant. In itself, it is neither good nor bad for life." (Emphasis added.)
