Abstract

Photoluminescence properties of gallium-containing ZSM-5 zeolite were studied. It was found for the first time that reduced Ga-ZSM-5 containing low-valent Ga+ cations exhibits strong UV photoluminescence emission at 356 nm under excitation at 220 nm. This photoluminescence emission is induced by charge-transfer O2−-Ga+ excitation transitions.
