In this study ZnO nanoparticles are prepared by using sol gel method. This method is used by many researchers because of its case of use, easily availability of apparatus, low cost and it is easy to perform. The aim of this research is to study the size of ZnO nanoparticles using different reducing agents (NaOH or NH3OH or Triton X-100). The used chemicals are highly pure with AR grade. The precipitates were formed and annealed at temperature approx.10000C.The precipitate was collected and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to calculate the crystalline size of the nanoparticles. Nanosized ZnO powder was successfully synthesized and XRD analysis revealed that crystalline size is nearly independent of different reducing agents at 10000C. Also the results obtained show that sol-gel method can produce good quality ZnO nanoparticles by using any reducing agents.
