PROPERTIES OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES

Vandana Parihar, Mohan Raja and Rini Paulose

Abstract

Nanotechnology allocate with the production and usage of material with nanoscale dimension, nanoparticles are large surface area to volume ratio and thus very specific properties. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles had been in current studies due to its large bandwidth and high exciton binding energy and it has prospective applications such as electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and chemical properties that are significantly different from those of bulk counterpart. The aims of this review to provide a comprehensive view on structural, synthesis and electrochemical properties of the ZnO nanoparticles, which were synthesized by different methods.
