Effect of Zn7Sb2O12 pre-synthesis on microstructure and properties of ZnO varistor ceramics
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.
