Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized via a solvothermal method in triethanolamine (TEA) media. TEA was utilized as a polymer agent to terminate the growth of ZnO-NPs. The ZnO-NPs were characterized by a number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis, transition electron microscopy, and field emission electron microscopy. The ZnO-NPs prepared by the solvothermal process at 150 degrees C for 18 hours exhibited a hexagonal (wurtzite) structure, with a crystalline size of 33 +/- 2 nm, and particle size of 48 +/- 7 nm. The results confirm that TEA is a suitable polymer agent to prepare homogenous ZnO-NPs.
