•High quality of synthesized ZnO powder with hexagonal wurtzite structure.•ZnO nanoparticles exhibit a broad band at about 369nm in the absorption spectra which is characteristic of a pure ZnO.•Raman studies indicate first and second order active modes of the ZnO. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized...
