The invention discloses a method for preparing a
voltage dependent
resistor, belonging to the field of electronic element preparation. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing MgO with the purity of 99.5% and SiO2 with the purity of 99% in a
mole ratio of 1:1, ball-milling, and
drying after ball-milling; (2) pressing the components into round pieces at 60MPa, synthesizing at 750 DEG C, naturally cooling, and crushing for later use; (3) adopting 90.4% of ZnO, 5.18% of Bi2O3, 1.84% of Sb2O3, 0.97% of Co2O3, 0.84% of Ni2O3, 0.64% of Cr2O3 and 0.13% of MnO2 as base components, further adding 0.04% of MgSiO3, so as to prepare a mixed
raw material; and (4) putting the mixed
raw material, water and balls into a
polyester tank at a ratio of 1:1:2.5, stirring and
grinding for 1 hour,
drying the
slurry, adding 8% of an
adhesive, pressing into square pieces of 40*40mm in width and length at 240MPa, and
sintering. By adjusting the proportions of the raw materials and
doping 0.04% of MgSiO3, not only is the electric nonlinearity property of a ZnO anti-
lightning voltage dependent
resistor greatly improved, but also the
voltage gradient of the ZnO voltage dependent
resistor is improved, the through-current capability of the ZnO voltage dependent resistor is greatly improved, and the
residual pressure ratio and leakage current of the ZnO voltage dependent resistor are reduced.
