In this current work, we report the synthesis of Magnesium (Mg) doped ZnO (Zn1−x Mgx O where x = 0.02, 0.06 and 0.1) powders by solution combustion process using Glycine (C2H5NO2) as fuel. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD for phase anlalysis and SEM for microstructure. The powder XRD patterns of the samples confirms the formation of polycrystalline ZnO of hexagonal wurtzite structure by comparing with the standard peaks of JCPDS card no 36-1451. The crystallite size of the powder ranges from 17-26nm when calculated by Scherrer formula. SEM images shows the zinc oxide nanopowders are highly porous and spongy in nature with agglomerate size ranges from 178nm to 244.6nm.
