ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by one step solid state reaction using only zinc sulfate heptahydrate and sodium hydroxide. The synthesized samples were characterized with various analysis methods including of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsorpation-desorpation, and Ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-Vis DRS). The experimental results indicate that the dosage of NaOH is an important parameter in the process, which can affect the composition, crystallinity and morphology of the ZnO nanoparticles. Mean while, the formation scheme of ZnO nanoparticles includes that ZnSO₄·7H₂O and NaOH were grinded to be full contact, then ZnSO₄·7H₂O reacted with NaOH to form Zn₄SO₄(OH)₆·5H₂O. Subsequently, ZnO crystal nucleus would be generated and grown into a ZnO sheets by the sufficient heat of solution from NaOH. In the final, the photocatalytic property and kinetics were evaluated by the photodegradation of methyl orange. The ZnO nanoparticles exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet light. The photodegradation of methyl orange by ZnO nanoparticles conforms to the pseudo first order kinetics.
