Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles with a size distribution below 20 nm have been grown on the zeolite hosts of ZSM5 and mordenite with different SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios (MR). The luminescent properties of ZnO nanoparticles were studied by cathodoluminescence (CL) in a scanning electron microscope. CL spectra were observed for mordenites with lowest (13) and highest (90) MR only. These spectra show the ZnO band edge emission and a blue defect related emission. The mechanism of generation of the blue emission is discussed in terms of point defect generation at the ZnO/zeolite interfaces.
