The present study reports the comparative analysis for the synthesis of zinc oxide nano particles by precipitation techniques using different zinc precursors. The synthesized nano particles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis for their sizes, shapes and arrangement. SEM has been studied for the samples before as well as after calcination to know the effect of temperature on structural behaviours. The XRD pattern shows the purity of synthesized zinc oxide nano particles and using Debye-Scherrer equation, the average crystal size of synthesized nanoparticles was calculated. The results have been discussed in the light of variation of morphological structures of different samples. Apart from this, the band gap energies of the synthesized particles have also been calculated from UV-visible spectrophotometric analysis, which is quite appreciable with the reported results.
