Abstract

ZnO nanotubes were hydrothermally synthesized and the ZNTs/CeO2 fluorescent composite were prepared by introducing nano CeO2 particles into ZnO nano-tubes via a chemical solution adsorption and annealing process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and room temperature photoluminescence measurement. Due to the interaction between Ce4+ and the surface atoms of ZnO2 nano-tubes, a photoluminescence enhancement was observed in ZNTs/CeO2 composites compared with that of ZNTs.
