• Figure 1 shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of p-ZnO nanoparticles. The diffraction peaks of the sample correspond to the (100), (002), (101), (110), (103), and (112) planes of reflection for the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO. All of the peaks are in good agreement with the JCPDS database file
