Abstract

The ZnO-based varistor ceramics with addition of different amount of Bi₂WO₆ were prepared by conventional solid state reaction and then their surface morphology and electrical properties were examined. Results show that appropriate Bi₂WO₆-dopping can promote the uniform growth of ZnO varistor ceramic grains, improve their uniformity of microstructure, reduce the breakdown voltage and increase the nonlinear coefficient. In addition, Bi₂WO₆ can increase the content of absorbed oxygen on the surface of ZnO, thereby enhance the density of the interfacial state and barrier height, correspondingly, optimize the nonlinear characteristic of ZnO varistor ceramics. For the ZnO-based varistor ceramics with x=7% (mass fraction) Bi₂WO₆, presents excellent properties: the nonlinear coefficient α is as high as 53, corresponding to the highly barrier height φ_b of 11.52 eV, whilst the leakage current J_L and the breakdown voltage are as low as 3.50 μA/cm²and 263 V/mm, respectively.

Key words: inorganic non-metallic materials ZnO varistor ceramics Bi₂WO₆ microstructure electrical properties
