In the present investigation, the nanocrystalline/nanoparticle ZnO powder was synthesized using high energy ball milling process. It has been found mechanical milling is a very effective, low cost and simple technique to produce nanocrystalline/nanoparticle ZnO powder. Structural and morphological investigations of the powders during the process were carried out by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X%26apos;Pert HighScore and Clemex Vision image analysis software. The results showed that after milling for 8 h, in best condition, ZnO powder particles with crystallite size of 15 nm, particle size of about 60 nm and lattice strain of 0.67% were obtained.
