The optical properties of solution-grown ZnO nanorods were investigated using photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence. The as-grown nanorods displayed a broad yellow-orange sub-band-gap luminescence and a small near-band-gap emission peak. The sub-band-gap luminescence can only be observed when exciting above band gap. Scanning cathodoluminescence experiments showed that the width of the sub-band-gap luminescence is not due to an ensemble effect. Upon reduction, the sub-band-gap luminescence disappeared and the near-band-gap emission increased. Compared to ZnO powders that are stoichiometric and oxygen deficient, we conclude that the yellow-orange sub-band-gap luminescence most likely arises from bulk defects that are associated with excess oxygen.
