A precipitation approach is utilized to prepare nanoscale zinc oxide as precursor. Subsequently, silver loaded zinc oxide nanocomposites （ZnO/Ag） are prepared by hydrolysis method. The sample prior to silver loading and that thereafter are compared in terms of average diameter and structure. The results show the zinc oxide powder presenting good dispersity and uniform size with average diameter about 170 nm. Successful Silver coating on the parent powder increases the nanocomposites’ diameter slightly.
