The subject matter of the invention is a method of a preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles, in which the organozinc precursor in an aprotic organic solvent is subjected to an oxidizing agent. A compound of the formula [R2ZnLn]m is used as the organozinc precursor, where R is C1-C5 alkyl, straight or branched, benzyl, phenyl, mesityl, cyclohexyl group, L is low- molecular-weight organic compound containing one Lewis base center of formula (I) or of formula (2) or of formula (3), where R1, R2 and R3 are C1-C5 alkyl, straight or branched, phenyl, benzyl, tolyl, mesityl or vinyl group, in which any hydrogen atom may be substituted by fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, n is 0, 1 or 2, m is a natural number from 1 to 10. Furthermore, the subject matter of the invention are also zinc oxide nanoparticles obtained by the said method. Moreover, the subject matter of the invention is also the use of the disclosed zinc oxide nanoparticles in sensors or as ETL layers for the construction of solar cells, or as UV filters, or as materials for use in electronics or in catalysis. |
