A material that composed a components either nanoscale or nano-sized and have improved dielectric characteristics is called a nanocomposite material for dielectric applications. Dielectric materials can sustain an electric field with little energy loss since they are non-conductive. This study examined in detail the optical, morphological, and structural characteristics of materials made of tin dioxide/graphene oxide (SnO2/GO), with an emphasis on the potential uses of these materials as dielectrics. The crystalline nature of the materials was revealed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to clarify the structural properties of the produced nanocomposites. This was done in a systematic manner. For the purpose of enhancing dielectric characteristics, morphological investigations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal a well-dispersed and linked structure. A significant defect density is discovered in the composite, and the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) spectrum's exclusive Tin (Sn), carbon (C), and oxygen (O) content confirms the originality of the sample. The optical properties of the nanocomposites were studied using photoluminescence (PL) measurements, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) of the nanocomposite revealed a 3.7 eV energy of the band gap that is consistent with SnO. The tiny high fault density and grain size are in charge of the dielectric constant's observable increase. The synthesized SnO2/GO nanocomposite shows promising properties use in dielectric applications.
