Ultra‐Rapid Blacklight Sintering for ZnO‐Based Varistors With Optimized Functional Properties

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for energy‐efficient optoelectronic systems has intensified interest in high‐performance ceramic varistors, which are critical components in surge protection applications. In this study, ZnO‐based varistors were fabricated using a novel blacklight sintering (BLS) technique, which employs high‐powered blue light, and were ...

Grain Boundary Space Charge Engineering of Solid Oxide Electrolytes: Model Thin Film Study

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 14, 16 February 2026.
This study demonstrates unprecedented control of grain boundary electrical properties in solid electrolytes. Selective diffusion of cations through grain boundaries in thin films enables 12 orders of magnitude variation in ionic resistance, proving that systematic chemical modification of grain boundary electrical properties is feasible.

dv/dt Dependence in metal oxide varistors

Electronics Letters, 1986
A dv/dt dependence has been observed in metal oxide varis-tors during impulse testing. A lossy dielectric model which provides a qualitative explanation of this behaviour can also be used to account for current overshoot.

Electro-Thermal Modeling of Metal-Oxide Arrester under Power Frequency Applied Voltages

Energies, 2018
Metal-oxide arresters (MOAs) are used to absorb the electrical energy resulting from overvoltages in power systems. However, temperature rises caused by the absorbed energy can lead to the electrothermal failure of MOAs.

Abnormal Expansion Along the Synthesis of Zinc Stannate: A Way for Porous Ceramics Without Addition of Pore Generators

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.
The abnormal expansion associated with the simultaneous synthesis and sintering of Zn2SnO4 from ZnO and SnO2 is due to the reaction mechanism and correlated with the conversion. This phenomenon opens the way to manufacture porous ceramics without the addition of pore generators, simplifying the process, and especially the thermal treatment.
