A series of double-perovskite La2Co1−zFezMnO6 (z = 0, 0.2−1.0) ceramics were synthesized using a well-established sol−gel method. The series of samples with a monoclinic phase and a P21/n symmetry were characterized by XRD, FTIR, conductivity, and capacitance measurement to extract charge-transport and dielectric characteristics at room temperature. The obtained IR spectra fitted well with the Lorentz oscillator model to calculate the damping factor, optical frequency, and oscillator strength and compared with the theory, which gave better agreement. The calculated activation energies from the Arrhenius plot supported the semiconducting nature of all samples. The temperature and frequency-dependent dielectric parameters, such as the real part (εr′), imaginary part (ε″) of the dielectric constant, dielectric loss (tanδ), and ac-conductivity (σac) were extracted. The dielectric constant (εr′,  ε″) and dielectric loss (tanδ) were enhanced at a low frequency, while the ac-conductivity (σac) displayed higher values at higher frequencies. The enhancement in the dielectric parameters with increasing iron concentrations arose due to the higher surface volume fraction of iron (Fe3+) ions than the cobalt (Co3+) ions. The radius of the Fe3+ (0.645 Å) was relatively higher than the Co3+ ions (0.61 Å), significantly influenced by the grains and grain boundaries, and enhanced the barrier for charge mobility at the grain boundaries that play a vital role in space charge polarization.
