Bi4Ti3O12 (BTO) Ceramic nanoparticle was synthesized by utilizing a cost-effective wet route method. XRD analysis confirms the formation of single-phase formation of BTO ceramic. The crystallite size was calculated using Debye Scherrer equation and found to be 48 nm. XPS analysis verified that the Bi, Ti and O were present in +3, +4 and -2 oxidation states. Elemental composition was determined using EDS. The dielectric constant of BTO ceramic reached its peak at 602, measured at 564 K and 100 Hz. In contrast, its lowest recorded value was 99 at 564 K and 1 MHz.The tangent loss value of the BTO ceramic was noted as 0.42 at 563 K and 1 kHz.During Photocatalytic studies, It was found that BTO degraded 63% Congo Red dye in 2.5 hours.
