The doping effects of Cu on the microstructure and non-ohmic electrical properties of ZnO varistors were studied. Addition of Cu2O can enhance the ZnO grain growth during sintering. The SEM and EDS results revealed that the added Cu mainly distributed in the grain boundary and spinel phases of ZnO varistors. The Cu2O addition increased the both of grain and grain boundary resistances. However it decreased the non-ohmic electrical characteristics of ZnO varistors, which is a good agreement with similar findings on Ag2O additions, but contrasts to the reports of good non-ohmic electrical property which found on binary Cu doped ZnO varistors.

The grain-boundary and its electrical characteristics in SrCoO3doped ZnO varistors were studied. The grain-boundary around ZnO-grain is probably composed of SrCoO3, and its electrical behavior is clearly different from two conventional types of Bi-and Pr-based ZnO varitors. The non-linearity and characteristic behavior could be explained by considering the n-p-n hetero-structure at the grain boundary. SrCoO3 in the grain-boundary region should play crucial roles of not only the appearance of non-liner property but also the formation of different hetero-structure from double Schottky-barrier model on conventional varistors.

The effect of simultaneously adding Zr and Y to Bi–Mn–Co–Sb–Si–Cr–Ni-added ZnO varistors (having the same composition as a commercial varistor) on the varistor voltage, leakage current, and resistance to electrical degradation were investigated. Varistor voltage increased with increasing amount of Y for addition of 0–2 mol % Zr. On the other hand, the nonlinear coefficient α prior to electrical degradation changed very little on the addition of both Y and Zr. With the addition of approximately 1 mol% Zr, the leakage current decreased with increasing amount of Y added. A ZnO varistor with a varistor voltage of approximately 600 V/m, a low leakage current, and excellent resistance to electrical degradation was fabricated by adding approximately 2 mol% Y and approximately 1 mol% Zr.
