In this present paper, we report the tunability of ZnO nanoparticles by ultrasonic irradiation. Different sized ZnO nanoparticles viz. 2.58-2.97 nm have been synthesized with variation of ultrasonic irradiation time 75-270 min in presence of Histidine as capping agent. UV and visible spectroscopy study revealed that as ultrasonic irradiation time increases, there is increase in amount of formed ZnO nanoparticles and also there is red shift in absorption edge. This confirms the tunability of bandgap of histidine capped ZnO nanoparticles with ultrasonic irradiation. Growth mechanism for controlling the size of ZnO nanoparticles are also discussed.
