TiO 2(x)-CeO 2(1−x) nanocomposites were prepared at low TiO 2 composition of 5, 10, 15 and 20%, by using TiO 2 and CeO 2 nanoparticles obtained by polymeric citrate precursor method. These nanocomposites were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis of X-rays and BET surface area studies. BET studies showed the specific surface area of as-prepared nanocomposites in the range of 239-288 m 2 g −1. Twenty percent of TiO 2-based titania-ceria nanocomposites have smallest average particle size of 30 nm and highest surface area of 288 m 2 g −1 among all the as-prepared nanocomposites. The dielectric characteristics were measured as a function of frequency and temperature. The dielectric constant of TiO 2(x)-CeO 2(1−x) at room temperature was 35.6 (maximum) at 500 kHz for x = 0.20.
