Abstract

Chemical preparation methods were developed for high-field ZnO varistors which used precipitation techniques to prepare precursor powders. Varistors were made by sintering uniaxially pressed pellets in the range of 675°–740 °C in air. Properties of these varistors included electric fields (E) in the 10–100 kV/cm range at current densities (J) of 5 A/cm2, nonlinearity coefficients (α) greater than 30 for 2.5≤J≤5.O A/cm2, and densities in the range of 65%-99% of theoretical depending both on sintering temperature and composition.
