Herein we report a simple and easily scalable method for fabricating ZnO/ h -BN composites with tunable photoluminescence (PL) characteristics. The h -BN support significantly enhances the ultraviolet (UV) emission of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), which is explained by the ZnO/ h -BN interaction and the change in the electronic structure of the ZnO surface. When h -BN NPs are replaced with h -BN microparticles, the PL in the UV region increases, which is accompanied by a decrease in visible light emission. The dependence of the PL properties of ZnO NPs on the thickness of h -BN carriers, observed for the first time, is explained by a change in the dielectric constant of the support. A quantum chemical analysis of the influence of the h -BN thickness on the electron density redistribution at the w ZnO/ h -BN interface and on the optical properties of the w ZnO/ h -BN composites was carried out. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show the appearance of hybridization at the h -BN/ w ZnO interface and an increase in the intensity of absorption peaks with an increase in the number of h-BN layers. The obtained results open new possibilities for controlling the properties of ZnO/ h -BN heterostructures for various optical applications. |
