Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been used for several applications due to their unique electronic properties.  Their wide band gap (Eg = 3.37 eV) have been used as electron acceptor in several photonic, electronic devises and biomedical applications.   This band gap can be tuned depending on the type of synthesis is used, treatment method as well on the holding polymeric matrix. This presentation is centered to study the electronic and electrochemical properties of zinc oxide derivatized using 3-mercaptopropionic acid.  Due to the treatment of this nanoparticle with this acid, we observed that some electronic properties have been changed in the process.  In this poster we present, the synthesis and characterization of derivatized zinc oxide nanoparticles.
