The present paper reports the synthesis of the semiconducting metal oxides of tin, copper and zinc via a facile hydrothermal route. By the X-ray diffraction technique the as-synthesized materials are investigated and its crystal properties are characterized.The AC conductivity of the metal oxides are determined in the ambient and cigarette smoke environment. The results show, besides the conventional method of testing the sensitivity of the metal oxides, the dielectric analysis is a versatile method for determining potentially suitable candidates for sensing applications.
