In this review, the progress on RE-doped ZnO-based varistor materials in recent years was summarized. The mechanism of RE doping on the electrical performance of ZnO varistors was analyzed. The issues in exploring new ZnO-based varistor materials by RE doping were indicated, and the development trends in this area were proposed.} }
