Novel Ultrahigh-Performance ZnO-Based Varistor Ceramics. [PDF]
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces, 2021 The nonlinear response of a material to an external stimulus is vital in fundamental science and technical applications. The power-law current-voltage relationship of a varistor is one such example. An excellent example of such behavior is the power-law current-voltage relationship exhibited by Bi2O3-doped ZnO varistor ceramics, which are the ...

Effect of Zn7Sb2O12 pre-synthesis on microstructure and properties of ZnO varistor ceramics
AIP Advances, 2022 In this work, the Zn7Sb2O12 spinel phase is pre-synthesized at 980, 1000, 1020, 1040, and 1060 °C by mixing ZnO and Sb2O3 in a molar ratio of 7:1. ZnO varistors are prepared by replacing Sb2O3 with the Zn7Sb2O12 spinel phase.
