The addition of transition metal elements such as Co is necessary to realize highly non-linear ZnO based varistors. The relation between the oxidation states of Co ions and the appearance and disappearance of the non-linear I-V characteristics was studied in ZnO-CoO based compositions. Pressed bodies were sintered at 1430°C in an oxygen atmosphere followed by annealing at various temperatures in air...
