Pure rutile phase of nanocrystalline (In + Nb) co-doped TiO2 (INTO) ceramics were prepared by a chemical combustion method using urea as fuel. Dense ceramic microstructure can be obtained by sintering INTO nanocrystalline powders. Good dispersion of In3+ and Nb5+ co-doping ions in the microstructure is observed. Notably, high dielectric permittivity (ae20,674) and low loss tangent (ae0.054) at a low frequency and 30 A degrees C are achieved in the (In1/2Nb1/2)(0.015)Ti0.985O2 ceramic. Using an impedance spectroscopy, the INTO ceramics are confirmed to be electrically heterogeneous, consisting of semiconducting and insulating phases. The giant dielectric response in INTO ceramics can suitably be explained by the interfacial polarization. The low value of the loss tangent of INTO ceramics is attributed to a large value of resistivity of insulating phase.
