Zinc oxide (ZnO) are currently of great importance mainly as, transparent conductive electrodes, in solar cells devices, inorganic light emitting diodes, such as UV light emitting diodes, UV lasers and blue luminescent devices, photodetectors, gas sensors etc. The microwave synthesis is a synthesis method which is entirely different from the other methods. In the microwave method, a microwave diffuses to the material being heated volumetrically. In this study, Indium (In) doped ZnO nanopowders were synthesized via microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis (MW-HTS) using zinc acetate dihydrate, indium acetate hydrate and sodium hydroxide. The effect of In dopant on the structural and morphological properties of ZnO nanopowders was investigated. To investigate the crystalline structure and the orientation of the doped ZnO nanopowders, XRD patterns were used. The lattice parameters and texture coefficient values of these nanopowders were determined. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to analyze the surface morphology of the In doped ZnO. The presence of functional groups and the chemical bonding due to In doping are confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR).
