Abstract ZnVCrO based ceramics with 0%-0.6% Ce-La oxide composite were synthesized by traditional mixing oxide procedure, sintering at 850 ℃ for 4 hours. XRD, SEM, EDS and V-I test were used to investigate the dopant effect on the microstructure and varistor properties of the obtained ceramics. The results showed Zn3(VO4)2, ZnCr2O4 were the secondary crystalline phases within the ceramics in addition to ZnO primary phase. Ce(La)VO4 solid solution was an additional secondary crystalline phase in the ceramics with Ce-La oxide composite and the amount of additional secondary phase increased with the further addition of the dopant. Composite dopant of more than 0.4wt% could greatly improve the microstructural homogeneity of ZnVCrO based ceramics, and the variation of its content showed no major influence on sintering. The ceramic with 0.4wt% Ce-La composite has the optimum varistor properties: nonlinear coefficient was 24.7, breakdown field was 1 029 V/mm, leak current density was 92 μA/cm2.
