Abstract: Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are versatile materials with broad applications due to their unique properties. This review examines the synthesis methods of ZnO nanoparticles, including sol-gel, microwave-assisted, and green synthesis. The sol-gel method allows precise control over particle size and morphology, while microwave-assisted synthesis offers rapid, uniform particle formation. Green synthesis uses plant extracts for eco-friendly production. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveal the structural and morphological properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. Applications of ZnO nanoparticles in antifouling coatings, biomedical fields (antibacterial and anticancer), and energy systems are discussed. The review evaluates each synthesis method’s efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact, highlighting their potential for sustainable applications.
