Abstract: Nanostructured oxides are attracting enormous interest due to their variety of applications such as energy materials, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, superconductors, spintronics, catalysts, biological agents, etc. For the present study, ZnO:SnO 2 nanocomposites were prepared by addition of nanostructured SnO 2 in ZnO nanostructured matrix. X–ray diffraction (XRD) measurement reveals the single phase nature of pure ZnO and SnO 2 oxides as well as their composites. Variation in a.c. conductivity has been discussed on the basis of Jonscher's universal power law which suggests that charge conduction is governed by correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism. Estimated maximum barrier height is found to decrease with increase in SnO 2 nanoparticles content in the nanostructured ZnO matrix. Dielectric behavior has been understood in the context of relaxation formula and universal dielectric relaxation (UDR) model. Relaxation fits suggest that SnO 2 content suppresses the relaxation time for dipoles to get aligned whereas it enhances the relaxation time distribution factor. • ZnO:SnO2 nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by sol–gel method. • Variation in impedance has been discussed in the context of grain boundaries. • Dielectric responses have been discussed using the UDR model and related relaxation mechanisms. • AC conductivity has been discussed using power law fits.
