Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The effect of Bi 2 O 3 on the microstructure and properties of ZnO-based varistor ceramics sintered around 900 °C has not been fully understood. Therefore, ZnO (balanced)- x Bi 2 O 3 –2%MnCO 3 -0.1%Nb 2 O 5 (x = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1%, all in molar ratio) varistor ceramics were prepared by solid-state sintering at 850–900 °C. Then, the effect of varying Bi 2 O 3 concentration on the microstructure and nonlinear electrical properties of the as fabricated ceramic was studied by using XRD, SEM, EDS and conventional electric field-current density ( E - J ) test. The Results show that the Mn and Nb doping is the main reason for making Bi 2 O 3 derived liquid phase capable of densifying the ZnBiMnNbO varistor ceramic at 850–900 °C. The sintered ceramics consist of ZnO and other three secondary phases:Bi 2 O 3, Mn 3 O 4 and Bi 5 Nb 3 O 15. The increase of Bi 2 O 3 can improve the grain growth of the ceramic up to 0.75mol%. The further addition of Bi 2 O 3 slightly inhibits the growth of ZnO grains. As a result, the breakdown voltage first decreases from 633.83 to 403.63 V/mm with the increase of Bi 2 O 3 up to 0.75mol%, then increases slightly to 439.71 V/mm with the further increase of Bi 2 O 3 to 1mol%. The nonlinear coefficient reaches its maximum value (58.68) at 0.5 mol% Bi 2 O 3 in the ceramic sintered at 900 °C. Meanwhile, the leakage current density is as low as 3.16 μA/cm 2. This study provides a good reference for producing the ZnO-based varistors at low costs.
