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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Optical and Thermal Characterization of Zinc Oxide-Based Ceramic Using Pyroelectric and Photopyroelectric Techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The advantage of wide electrical band-gap of zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor has been used in many applications particularly as varistors, which are ceramic devices with highly non-linear current-voltage characteristics. For ZnO-based varistor system, one

Determining the effect of bismuth oxide on the microstructure and electrical response of cold‐sintered ZnO varistors

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

A novel embedded voltage‐clamped circuit for multilevel modular converters submodule to suppress very fast transient overvoltage

open access: yesHigh Voltage
The submodule in multilevel modular converters experiences a very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) during switch operation of gas‐insulated switchgear, which also results in overvoltage on power devices, such as thyristors and insulated gate bipolar ...

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

open access: yesEnergies, 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.
