In this experiment, the same preparation procedure as in example 1 was still employed, except that the starting materials used involved the following components in mole percent, see table 2:
table 2: comparative example 1 molar ratio of raw materials of Zinc oxide-based varistor
In table 2 of comparative example 1, the marked portion with the horizontal line in the raw material component was not subjected to the selection and proportioning of the raw materials according to the components of the examples of the present application.
Comparative example 2 (C2)
The present experiments relate to the preparation and comparison of the shell portion of zinc oxide based varistor sheets.
In the experiment of comparative example 2-1 (C2-1), the coating paste preparation of example 1 was not included, as compared to the experimental step of example 1, and it was sprayed or brushed onto the side, top and bottom surfaces of the resistor sheet blank to form an experimental step of thermally insulating coating paste-coated resistor sheet. That is, the zinc oxide-based varistor sheet does not include a shell structure for heat insulation.
In the experiment of comparative example 2-2 (C2-2), compared to the experimental procedure in example 1, the experimental procedure including the above-mentioned coating paste spraying or brushing on the side surfaces, top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the green sheet of the resistor sheet, the green sheet shell of the resistor sheet covered with the thermal insulation coating paste, the core structure, was formed.

Thereafter, the same spraying or brushing process as in example 1 was performed to form a resistance sheet covered with the coating paste.
Comparative example 3 (C3)
The present experiments relate to the preparation and comparison of the shell portion of zinc oxide based varistor sheets.
In the experiment of comparative example 3-1 (C3-1), a similar preparation process to example 1 was carried out. Except that zinc oxide fine powder having an average particle diameter of 60 to 80nm was selected as the zinc oxide raw material, but the zinc oxide fine powder was not subjected to the surface treatment process of example 1, but was directly mixed with the above raw material other than ZnO and subjected to the rest of the process of example 1.
In the experiment of comparative example 3-2 (C3-2), a preparation process similar to that of example 1 was carried out. The difference is that the zinc oxide raw material is selected from zinc oxide fine powder with average particle diameter of 150-200 nm. The zinc oxide fine powder was not subjected to the surface treatment process of example 1, but was directly mixed with the above raw materials other than ZnO and subjected to the rest of the process of example 1.
In the experiment of comparative example 3-2 (C3-3), a preparation process similar to that of example 1 was carried out. The difference is that the zinc oxide raw material is selected from zinc oxide fine powder with average particle diameter of 150-200 nm. The rest of the processes, including the surface treatment process of the zinc oxide powder, were the same as those of example 1.
Test experiment
In the test of the present application, the potential gradient (E1 mA, V/mm), the residual voltage ratio (K) and the energy density (J/cm) of the zinc oxide-based varistor sheets obtained in each of the examples and comparative examples were tested 3 ). The test process accords with the test flow and the test standard of the alternating-current metal oxide arrester of the GB/T11032-2020 standard.
In the test process, firstly, the voltage (U1 mA) at two ends of the prepared zinc oxide-based varistor when passing through direct current of 1mA is measured, and the voltage (U5 kA) at two ends of the varistor when passing through lightning of 8/20s is measured, and the ratio of the voltage to the residual voltage is the residual voltage ratio (K), so that the nonlinear characteristic of the prepared varistor is reflected. In addition, the ratio of the voltage corresponding to the 1mA current to the thickness of the resistor sheet is used for obtaining the potential gradient (E1 mA, V/mm) of the resistor sheet, and the resistor sheet of the embodiment can realize the potential gradient of 600V/mm or even higher. Residual pressure ratio (K), potential gradient (E1 mA), and energy density (J/cm) 3 ) The test results of (2) are shown in Table 3.
Table 3: performance test of each example and comparative example
From the test data of examples and comparative examples, the samples of examples 1 and 2 of the present application obtained the highest potential gradient nonlinear characteristics, better energy density and lower residual voltage ratio.
In this regard, the inventors do not wish to be bound by any theory. However, according to the test and experimental results of the inventors, in combination with corresponding test means, some corresponding explanation and possible theoretical analysis can be obtained. The inventors conducted SEM scanning electron microscope tests on longitudinal sections (profiles) of various locations of the zinc oxide-based varistor sheet prepared in example 1, as shown in fig. 1. In fig. 1, a zinc oxide-based varistor sheet 1 includes a core portion (i.e., a portion from region a to region b), and a sheath portion 3 is sprayed or brushed onto the side, top and bottom surfaces of the varistor sheet blank to form a thermally insulating coating slurry-coated varistor sheet blank case. The sprayed or brushed material of the shell portion 3 (forming region a) of the present embodiment is composed of ZnO, and SiO 2 、Al 2 O 3 The slurry is composed, and the coating composed of Zn, al and Si oxides has good heat insulation performance, so that the growth of ceramic particles in the region a of the central region of the zinc oxide-based varistor is effectively inhibited. As can be seen from SEM pictures, in the central region a of the zinc oxide-based varistor sheet obtained after sintering, the average particle size of the sintered particles is about 150-200nm, and the growth of the ceramic particles in the central region is effectively limited by combining the short-time sintering process of the application. Here, the region 2 is shown as a region bordered and transited by the central region and the peripheral shell portions. Whereas SEM pictures of the corresponding longitudinal cross-section of the b region nearer the edge (shell portion) show that the ceramic particles grow significantly during the high temperature sintering step, to the order of hundreds of nanometers to microns. And to the edge c (region including the shell portion), particles including the shell portion grow rapidly under high temperature sintering, and the outermost periphery includes ZnO, and SiO 2 、Al 2 O 3 The particle size of the sintered particles of the slurry is more than 2 mu m. Thus, znO, and SiO in the design concept of the inventors 2 、Al 2 O 3 The slurry formed serves as a heat insulating protective layer, protects the ceramic particles of the core portion from growing up, compacts the particle density of the zinc oxide-based varistor of examples (1 and 2), and has better nonlinear characteristics to obtain the optimal energy density (J/cm) 3 ) And a potential gradient (E1 mA). In contrast, therefore, in the series of experiments of comparative example C2, the resistor sheet not including the shell structure did not realize the optimized potential gradient and energy density. It is worth mentioning that the inventors have surprisingly found that the use of Zn and Zn oxides plays a role in further optimizing the sintering effect and the resistance properties in the shell structure. However, when using other raw material components not containing Zn element as the coating layer of the shell portion (C2-2), the potential gradient and the energy density are deteriorated as compared with the examples, and the inventors speculate that ceramic grains at the boundary of the Zn-free shell portion and the core portion joining portion containing a large amount of Zn are not staggered with each other, so that the sintering density and the degree of compaction of the ceramic sheet as a whole are deteriorated, affecting further improvement of the nonlinear characteristics. Further, the insulating properties of the other components (such as Sb and Bi oxides) in the comparative example were good, but the insulating properties were not good, and thus the other types of oxides could not function as good insulating layers. On the other hand, when the content of Zn element in the shell portion is high (equal to or more than 50% by mole), or when the shell element is free of Si oxide element (e.g., C2-3), the heat insulating property of the shell portion cannot be optimally ensured, and thus the nonlinear resistance characteristics and the potential gradient cannot be optimally improved. Thus in an embodiment of the application, it is preferred that the mole percent content of the Zn component in the shell portion of the resistor sheet is 10% to 40% of the total component of the shell portion. More preferably, the shell portion of the zinc oxide based varistor is made of ZnO, siO 2 And Al 2 O 3 The raw materials of (2) are composed according to the mol ratio of 1:1:1.
In addition, the inventors have surprisingly found that non-linear modification of, for example, commercially available ZnO nanopowders or nanoparticles can further improve the energy density and potential gradient of the resistive sheetSex characteristics. When ammonium citrate is used for hydrothermal reaction, the quantum dots containing C material are formed, and the surface of the carbon quantum dots may have oxygen-containing coordination groups, such as carbonyl (-C=O-) and amino (-NH) 2 ) When the nano zinc oxide powder is further mixed with nano zinc oxide particles, the nano zinc oxide powder can be fully coordinated with metal cation dangling bonds on the surface of the nano zinc oxide before and after sintering, so that adsorbed oxygen molecules are reduced, easily polymerized hydroxyl groups combined on the surface of the nano zinc oxide are reduced, the sintering density of the ZnO material is improved, and the energy density and the nonlinear characteristics are improved.
Therefore, when the ZnO nanoparticles, which were not surface-treated, were subjected to the preparation experiment in comparison with comparative example C3 of the present application, the energy density could not be optimally exhibited. Notably, if the particle size of the starting ZnO raw material is larger (e.g., C3-3), the nonlinear characteristics are slightly deteriorated while achieving a better energy density, which may be related to excessive growth of the main component particles upon sintering, affecting optimization of the nonlinear characteristics of the ZnO resistor sheet.
Finally, in terms of raw material selection of the nonlinear resistor, the inventor finds that the selection and proportion of Si, multivalent Co and rare earth element types and ZnO as a main material have an influence on the electrical performance of the nonlinear resistor through experiments. Wherein when SiO 2 If the ratio is too high, the degree of sintering compaction is reduced, and nonlinear conduction between Zn components may be affected, so that, in a preferred embodiment, siO 2 The molar ratio of (2) is not more than 3%; in addition, co 2 O 3 With Co 3 O 4 Mixing in proper proportions is the preferred solution for optimizing the nonlinear resistor, when Co 3 O 4 If the ratio (C1-2) is too low, the optimization of the nonlinear characteristics is not favored. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, co in the feedstock 3 O 4 The molar ratio of (2) should be greater than or equal to 0.5%. This may be related to the self-sintered atomic architecture of the Co oxide. Finally, the inventors found Er 2 O 3 Is a better rare earth trace element, and the synergistic effect is better than Y reported in the related technology 2 O 3 This may be in combination with the more optimal electron transport properties of ErRelated to the following. When Al (NO) 3 ) 3 Nitrate can also act as a site for binding to the ZnO surface when used as one of the raw materials, so the sintering density and the degree of particle binding are better in the example using nitrate of Al.
