The I-V characteristics and its stability of ZPCCL-based ceramic varistors doped with La$_2$O$_3$in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol% were investigated. The density of ceramics was increased in the range of 4.7~5.8 g/cm$^3$ with increasing La$_2$O$_3$content. As La$_2$O$_3$content is increased, the varistor voltage was decreased in the range of 503.49-9.42 V/mm up to 2.0 mol%, whereas increasing La$_2$O$_3$content further caused it to increase. The ZPCCL-based varistors were characterized by nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is in the range of 3.05~82.43 and leakage current is in the range of 0.24-100.22 $\mu$A. Among ZPCCL-based varistors, 0.5 mol% added-varistors exhibited an excellent nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 82.43 and the leakage current is 0.24 $\mu$A. Furthermore, they exhibited a high stability, in which the variation rate of the varistor voltage and the nonlinear exponent was -1.11% and -6.72%, respectively, under DC stress, such as (0.80 V$_{1mA}$9$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85 V$_{1mA}$115$^{\circ}C$//12h) +(0.90 V$_{1mA}$12$0^{\circ}C$//12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$1$25^{\circ}C$//12h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$15$0^{\circ}C$//12h). Consequently, it was estimated that ZPCCL-based ceramics will be applied to development of Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$ based ZnO varistors having a high performance.e.rformance.e.

The varistor properties of ZPCCL-based ceramics were investigated at different $La_2O_3$ contents in the range of $0{\sim}2.0$ mol%. As $La_2O_3$ content increased, the ceramic density greatly increased in the range of $4.71{\sim}5.77\;g/cm^3$ and the varistor voltage greatly decreased in the range of $503.5{\sim}9.4$ V. The varistor with 0.5 mol% $La_2O_3$ exhibited good nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 81.6 and the leakage current is 0.2 ${\mu}A$. Furthermore, the varistors exhibited the high electrical stability, with $%{\Delta}V_{1mA}=-1.1%,%{\Delta}{\alpha}=-3.7%$, and $%{\Delta}I_L=+100%$ for DC accelerated aging stress condition of 0.95 $V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24$ h.
