The Zinc oxide (ZnO), Barium (Ba) doped ZnO and Barium-copper co-doped ZnO (BaCu:ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. From the XRD pattern revealed that the ZnO, Ba:ZnO and BaCu:ZnO samples were exhibits hexagonal wurtzite structure. We also investigate the crystallite improvement in nanostructured ZnO, Ba:ZnO and BaCu:ZnO NPs by X-ray broadening analysis using scherrer formula and Williamson-Hall plot analysis. FESEM images confirmed that, the morphology of the ZnO, Ba:ZnO and BaCu:ZnO NPs formed spherical structure. Chemical composition was identified by EDAX analysis. The optical study was carried out using PL spectra.
