The crystalline structure, morphology of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were observed using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and their optical properties characterized using UV -visible spectroscopy.XRD results revealed that the prepared ZnO sample is highly crystalline, having wurtzite crystalstructure. FT-IR spectra peak at 417.52 cm -1 indicated characteristic absorption bands OF ZnO nanoparticles. UV-Vis absorption spectrum showed a typical spectrum for ZnO nanoparticles. The SEM image shows that ZnO nanoparticles prepared in this study are spherical in shape with smooth surface.
