XRD and SEM were applied to determine the phases and microstructure of the varistor ceramics. A DC parameter instrument was applied to investigate the electronic properties and V-I characteristics. The XRD analysis of Eu2O3-doped ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramics shows that the ZnO, Eu-containing Bi-rich, Zn7Sb2O12-type spinel and Zn2Bi3Sb3O14-type which is the pyrochlore phase are present. With increasing Eu2O3 content, the average size of ZnO grain firstly decreases and then increases. The grain boundary defect model was particularly used to explain the excellent nonlinearity of ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramics with the addition of0.1% Eu2O3 and sintered at 950 ℃.展开更多
A series of ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramics doped with 0-0.4 mol.% Sc2O3 were prepared by high-energy ball milling and sintered at temperatures between 1000 and 1150oC.

X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） were applied to characterize the phases and microstructure of the varistor ceramics. A DC parameter instrument for varistor ceramics was applied to investigate the electronic properties and V-I characteristics. The results showed that there were no changes in crystal structure with Sc2O3-doped varistor ceramics and that the average size of ZnO grain increased first and then decreased. The best electronic characteristics of the varistor ceramics prepared by high-energy ball milling were found in 0.3 mol.% Sc2O3-doped ZnO-Bi2O3 -based ceramics sintered at 1000 oC, which exhibited a threshold voltage of 821 V/mm, nonlinear coefficient of 62.1 and leakage current of 0.16 μA.展开更多
