Abstract

In this paper, the synthesis of Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles was carried out by the conventional precipitation method. Ultraviolet, visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS) were performed to find the particles' bandgap and size. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) observed the characteristic bands of Zirconium oxide nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed that the size of the particle was found to be 119 nm.
