Abstract
Vatistors working in the 3-15 V battery voltage range can be obtained from ZnO ceramics formulated with $Ba_2SiO_4$ as the extra additive. The presence of a large surface state density and a changing pattern of trap states at the grain boundary interfaces are more significant than large grain size in attaining lower breakdown voltages, yet preserving higher nonlinear coefficients (\alpha) up to 25.
