Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of varistor ceramics, and in particular relates to a luminescent ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistor ceramic material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistors have been widely studied and applied in power systems, communication equipment, household appliances and other fields as devices for surge absorption, overvoltage suppression and voltage stabilization due to their excellent nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics and surge absorption capacity. In recent years, people have mainly devoted themselves to the optimization of synthesis schemes and performance regulation of ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistor ceramics to meet the ever-changing industrial needs. For example, Xu et al. studied the microstructure and electrical response of ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistor ceramics at different temperatures and different sintering processes; Zhang et al. studied the effect of erbium oxide doping on the microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistors. The results showed that when the erbium oxide doping concentration was 0.4 mol%, the microstructure of the varistor became more uniform, and the varistor field strength (E 1mA ) also improved, with its nonlinear coefficient α reaching 48. With the development of new energy vehicles, smart homes and other fields, ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramics are gradually iterating towards miniaturization and multifunctional integration.

[0003] The rare earth element Erbium is expected to give varistor ceramics new luminescence properties and improve their electrical properties due to its excellent luminescence properties, which provides the possibility for the preparation of luminescent and multifunctional ZnO-Bi2O3 based varistor ceramic materials. However, in the current research reports on the photoluminescence properties of rare earth ion doped varistor ceramics, on the one hand, due to the formation of bismuth-rich phase during the sintering process of bismuth oxide, most of the rare earth ions exist in the bismuth-rich phase, such as (Bi 0.75 Er 0.25 )2O3, causing concentration quenching and reducing the rare earth ions that can enter the main phase zinc oxide to form fluorescent centers. On the other hand, due to the high types and concentrations of defects in the varistor ceramics, especially near the grain boundaries, non-radiative relaxation is enhanced, causing the excitation energy to be dissipated, and therefore no fluorescent performance can be exhibited. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Step 2: Mix the pressure-sensitive modified mixture and the fluorescent material, add ball milling media, perform ball milling, dry to obtain a mixed powder, add a binder to the mixed powder, granulate and then mold into a green body.

[0016] Furthermore, the ball milling time is 6 h to 10 h, and the rotation speed is 250 rpm to 350 rpm.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramic material provided by the present invention uses ZnO and Er2O3 to form a fluorescent material. By introducing the fluorescent material into the ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistor ceramic, the material is endowed with fluorescent properties while retaining the microstructure and properties of the matrix.
