The Influence of Ni2O3 Doping Concentration on the Alternating Current Aging Characteristics of ZnO Varistor

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT When the surge arrester is subjected to the working voltage for an extended period, it undergoes alternating current (AC) aging, which degrades the arrester's parameters and affects the safety of the power grid. Ni2O3 is an important additive in the ZnO varistor formulation, and its doping ratio significantly influences the performance of the ...

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

Journal 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 ...
