Influence of Fine Crystal Percentage on the Electrical Properties of ZnO Ceramic-Based Varistors

Crystals, 2020
Herein, the effect of nanocrystal percentage in bulk-ZnO varistors was studied. The structure of ZnO nanocrystals was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).

DC Aging Mechanism of Co₂O₃-Doped ZnO Varistors

Energies, 2021
Lowered power loss and asymmetrically electrical parameters are reported in the DC aging of Co2O3-doped ZnO varistors in this paper. Based on the frequency domain dielectric responses of the pristine and degraded samples, the present study explores the ...

Electrical properties of ZnO varistors prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases [PDF]

Science of Sintering, 2006
Varistor samples containing different amounts of constituent phases were prepared by direct mixing of constituent phases. Detailed electrical characterization was performed to explain the influence of minor phases (spinel and intergranular phases) on ...

The Electrical Conductivity of the Lower Mantle From High‐Pressure/High‐Temperature Measurements of Pyrolite and Ten Years of Geomagnetic Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Electromagnetic sounding coupled with experimental measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) can provide valuable constraints on the thermochemical state of Earth's lower mantle. Here, we report a new set of experimentally determined EC values of pyrolite, a candidate composition of the lower mantle, between 25 and 80 GPa at room ...

Study on temperature rise prediction of ZnO varistors under multiple lightning strikes based on BP neural network and microscopic

High Temperature Materials and Processes
ZnO varistors are widely used in the field of lightning protection. After being struck by lightning, ZnO varistors absorb heat, which can lead to temperature rise and even damage, posing a serious safety threat to electrical safety.

Microstructural Characterization of ZnO Varistors.

Journal of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy, 1995
Two kinds of commercial ZnO system varistors were investigated with relevance to their microstructures. Particularly, face-to-face fracture surfaces were characterized in terms of secondary electron image and backscatterd electron image to clarify the existence of precipitates at the grain-to-grain interface.

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.
