Advances in the synthesis of ZnO nanomaterials for varistor devices [PDF]
ZnO based varistors are widely used for overvoltage protection in many electrical and electronic circuits, at voltages ranging from a few to over a million volts. By careful control of the microstructure, through nano-structuring by chemical routes, it should be possible to produce varistors with high breakdown voltage (Vc), as this is proportional to ...
