Abstract
► In this study we examine the origin of green luminescence (GL) emission in ZnO nanoparticles by PL spectroscopy. ► Hydroxyl groups attached to the surface of ZnO nanoparticles are responsible for GL emission in atmospheric condition. ► In vacuum condition, native defects give rise to the remnant GL emission.
