摘      要：In this paper, the Taguchi method with an L9（34） orthogonal array was used as experimental design to determine the optimum conditions for preparing ZnO nanoparticles via a mechanothermal route. ZnSO4·H20 and NaECO3 were used as starting materials. The effects of milling time, NaECO3/ZnSO·H20 molar ratio, and ball-to-powder mass ratio （BPR） on the bandgap （Eg） of ZnO nanoparticles were inves- tigated. The ranges of the investigated experimental conditions were 5-15 h for the milling time （t）, 1.0-1.2 for the Na2COa/ZnSO4·H20 mo- lar ratio （M）, and 10-30 for BPR. The milling time and BPR exhibited significant effects; an increase in milling time reduced the bandgap. The optimum conditions from this study were t3 = 15 h, M1 = l, and BPR2 = 20. Only two significant factors （t3, 15 h; BPR2, 20） were used to estimate the performance at the optimum conditions. The calculated bandgap was 3.12 eV, in reasonable agreement with the experimental results obtained under the optimized conditions.
