The ceramic composites of sodium bismuth titanate with reduce graphene oxide NBT/rGO of different compositions were fabricated by solid state sintering method and characterized. In this work, the graphene oxide (GO) and reduce graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully synthesized by Hummer’s modified method which is confirmed by FTIR and XRD results. The reduce graphene oxide used as 2D filler in piezoelectric creamic material. The crystalline structure of NBT/rGO composite was confirmed by X-ray diffraction with rhombohedral symmetry. The dispersion of rGO in the ceramic can be detect by the optical microcopy images. The electrical conductivity of sodium bismuth titanate shows increase at higher values of frequency and conductivity nanocomposites of different wt% were start decreases up to certain value of frequency. The broadening of peaks in frequency explicit plots of electrical conductivity with the help of LCR Meter (Impedance Capacitance and Resistance). The crystalline size of reduced graphene oxide and NBT is calculated by Scherrer’s formula of XRD peaks.
