Abstract
Abstract: Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an inorganic compound with unique physicochemical characteris-tics that make it versatile and suitable for various applications, especially in the form of nanoparti-cles (NPs). ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) exhibit distinct properties and are produced through diverse techniques, making them valuable for applications ranging from consumer goods to medi-cal and catalytic uses. The increasing popularity of ZnO NPs is driven by novel synthesis methods that allow for modification of chemical composition and control over size and shape, thereby en-hancing their properties and expanding their applications. The catalytic activity of ZnO NPs is influenced by parameters such as oxophilicity, large surface area, amphoteric nature, and the zinc cation's ability to approach activated starting material supports, making them viable heterogeneous catalysts for a variety of applications. Various analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and many more, are used to characterize the nanoparticles. This article explores various synthesis methods and characterization techniques and focuses on the catalytic activities of ZnO NPs
