Due to their increasing demand, highly specified and monodispersed nanoparticles formation is a revolutionary field. Here ZnO nanoparticles are prepared by modified sol-gel method and are characterized using UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Modified sol-gel mediated ZnO nanoparticles are proved to synthesize the highly stable, monodispersed and cost effective nanoparticles. The results are quite appreciable and wide band gap- long range ordered ZnO nanoparticles are obtained than the conventional route. %U http://www.iaesjournal.com/online/index.php/IJAAS/article/view/1614
