The results showed that the increase of sintering temperature in the range from 875 to 950 °C decreased the densities of sintered pellets in the range of 5.55 to 5.45 g/cm3 and increased the average grain size in the range of 4.1 to 8.8 ？m. The breakdown field decreased noticeably from 7443 to 1064 V/cm with increasing sintering temperature from 875 to 950 °C. The varistor ceramics sintered at 900 ？C exhibited nonlinear properties, with 49.4 in the nonlinear coefficient and 0.21 m A/cm2 in the leakage current density. The dielectric constant increased greatly from 440.1 to 2197.2 with increasing sintering temperature from 875 to 950 °C; however, the dissipation factor exhibited a fluctuation between 0.237 and 0.5. These ceramic compositions and sintering conditions can be applied to the development of advanced multiplayer varistors with silver as an inner electrode.展开更多

The varistor properties of ZnO ceramics with different compositions were measured, and microstructure of the ceramics was investigated by XRD and SEM. The results show that the addition of TiO2 is beneficial to the decrease of varistor voltage (V1mA). whereas it leads to the recession of nonlinear coefficient (α) and leakage current (lL). The varistor properties of ZnO ceramics containing TiO2 can be effectively improved by introducing moderate amount of pre-fabricated ZnO seed grains. The behaviors of TiO2 and seed grains, as well as the mechanisms by which TiO2 and seed grains influence varistor properties, are discussed.展开更多
