Abstract: The investigations carried out by extensive stability tests on LaCrO3, NiMn2O4 and their compositematerials revealed that the composite materials are greatly superior to single-phase materials in stability.The causes of resistance variation on single phase materials during ageing were analysed applying thedefect chemistry theory. The research suggested that the reduction of oxygen vacancies concentrations,which results from that the absorbed oxygen in the surface and pores of cerandcs diffused gradually intograins, decrease the resistrivity of p-type semiconductor ceramics LaCrO3 and increases that of n-type semiconductor ceramics NiMn2O4. thus it was condluded that the exceedingly good high-temperature-resistant characteristics of composite electroceramics are attributed to the compensation effect of composite materials.
