Physical methodology of preparing zinc nanoparticles suspended in the deionized water was presented. For this purpose, we apply the DC spark method and present the size distribution and measurement by Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM, of the nanoparticles in 22 V. The obtained results using the DC spark method shows that the fabrication of zinc nanoparticles in deionized water without any surfactants and stabilizers is relatively cheap and pollution free. Using the method, we could prepare the zinc nanoparticles smaller than 40 nm.
