Novel application of graphene combined with light emitting materials has been proposed recently due to the plasmonic effects of graphene. Here, we report our investigations on the structural and optical properties of two graphene/ZnO hybrid structures that fabricated based on different ZnO supports. Plasmon-enhanced ultraviolet photoluminescence has been observed from both samples. The combined Raman and photoluminescence studies suggest a strong interaction between ZnO and graphene, which is affected by the surface structures of ZnO. Our results develop insights about the influence of ZnO supports on the PL enhancement and interfacial coupling in graphene/ZnO hybrid structures, which provides a reference for the design and fabrication of optoelectronic devices with high efficiency.
