Nanoparticles are classified as materials with a scale ranging from 1-100 nm. Nanoparticles are of profound scientific interest because they span the gap between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. Zinc oxide is a n-type semiconductor with a wide band gap of 3.37 eV and a large excita...
