The article describes the sol-gel process used to construct and assess ZnO nanoparticles. This method is noted for producing ZnO nanomaterials with controlled dimensions and morphologies. ZnO NP have been confirmed to have a quartzite structure (approximately 30 nm crystallite size) through X-ray crystallographic analyses. Dynamic light scattering techniques measured an average hydrodynamic particle radius of approximately 70 nm; therefore, there is some degree of agglomeration calculated. SEM provides further verification of this report; once again, displaying components of polymorphically aggregated, nanosized ZnO NPs. Although the whole particle system aggregates uniformly, the possible effect of the aggregate behaviour of ZnO on the properties and potential application areas (i.e., catalysis, photovoltaics, and sensing technologies). In addition to demonstrating effective use of the sol-gel process for producing ZnO NP’s of controlled dimensions, the following study provides valuable information about their tendency toward aggregation. These data are necessary to optimize the performance of these materials in a variety of applications.
