In this research, the zinc oxide nanoparticles powder (ZnO-NPs) was dissolved in ethanol by using a magnetic stirrer device. The ZnO -nanoparticles properties were studied by several techniques, such as X-ray analysis, X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis optical absorption. XRD patterns show that hexagonal cell for ZnO-NPs. XRF analysis showed a high purity for ZnO-NPs. AFM, TEM and SEM images appear the particle size and the morphology for ZnO-NPs. The spectrum UV-vis shows that optical band absorption located in 377nm for ZnO-NPs. Zinc oxide can be considered an important element because of its use in many fields such as medical application, electronic industry, sun screening agent, cosmetics, UV protection, electrodes for solar cells and piezoelectric.
