The ZnO nanotubes by aqueous chemical growth ACG technique on p-GaN substrates were obtained. The as-grown ZnO nanotubes were annealed in different ambients at 600 C for 30 min. The EL investigations showed that air oxygen and nitrogen annealing ambients have strongly affected the deep level emission bands in ZnO. It was concluded from the EL investigation that more than one deep level defect is involved in the red emission appearing between 620 and 750 nm and that the red emission in ZnO can be attributed to oxygen interstitials Oi appearing in the range from 620 nm eV to 690 nm eV and to oxygen vacancies Vo appearing in the range from 690 nm eV to 750 nm eV . The annealing ambients especially the nitrogen ambient were also found to greatly influence the color-rendering properties and increase the CRI of the as - grown LEDs from 87 to 96. Introduction Zinc oxide ZnO is a direct wide band gap eV semiconductor. In recent years it has attracted the attention of the research community for a variety of practical applications due to its excellent properties combined with the facility of growing it in the nanostructure form. At present ZnO is considered to be a very attractive material because it combines semiconducting and piezoelectric properties and in addition it is transparent biocompatible and bio-safe. These unique properties of ZnO makes it as a promising candidate for the next generation of visible and ultra-violet UV light-emitting
