CaCu_(3)Ti_(4)O_(12)(CCTO)ceramics which has perovskite structure gained considerable attention due to its giant permittivity.But it has high tan(0.1 at 1 kHz)at room temperature,which needs to be minimized to the level of practical applications.Hence,TeO_(2) which is a good glass former has been deliberately added to CCTO nanoceramic(derived from the oxalate precursor route)to explore the possibility of reducing the dielectric loss while maintaining the high permittivity.The structural,morphological and dielectric properties of the pure CCTO and TeO_(2) added ceramics were studied using X-ray diffraction,Scanning Electron Microscope along with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis(EDX),spectroscopy and Impedance analyzer.For the 2.0 wt.%TeO_(2) added ceramics,there is a remarkable difference in the microstructural features as compared to that of pure CCTO ceramics.This sample exhibited permittivity values as high as 7387 at 10 KHz and low dielectric loss value of 0.037 at 10 kHz,which can be exploited for the high frequency capacitors application.
