It is one of the important methods to obtain the ZnO varistor ceramics with high-performance by improving the distribution uniformity of grain. In this paper, ZnO varistor ceramics samples doping with different contents of Sb2O3 were studied from several aspects such as the average grain size, distribution uniformity of grain size, and shape of grain. In addition, the non-uniform coefficient of grain size and the shape parameter were applied for quantification. The results show that with the increase of the doping content of Sb2O3, the average grain sizes, the non-uniform coefficients of grain size, and the shape parameters of the samples decrease generally. It suggests that the distribution uniformity of grain size is improved, and the grain shapes develop from slender to regular, which can also explain the enhance of the electrical properties of the samples. According to the analysis, the spinel phase formed after doping Sb2O3 inhibits the anisotropic growth of the crystal grains, which decreases the grain size and improves the uniform distribution and the shape of the grains. In addition, the inhibiting effect of spinel phase on the growth of grains in the large-grain region is weaker than that in the little-grain region.
