The sol-gel dip-coating method is a simple and inexpensive technique compared to molecular beam epitaxy and chemical vapor deposition. In spite of extensive research over the past several years, the temperature-dependent photoluminescence in ZnO is still not fully understood. The temperaturedependent PL of ZnO thin films grown on quartz substrate by using the dip-coating method are investigated. According to Haynes-empirical rule, the peak at 3.320 eV could be attributed to two electron satellites (TES). Theoretically, the radiative lifetime of the free excitons increases with temperature. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is theoretically fitted by the experimental data. In the case of exciton-LO phonon coupling, the FWHM value of the donor-acceptor pair (DAP) is larger than that of the free-to-neutral-acceptor (e,A0). In the case of the exciton-acoustic-phonon coupling strength, however, the value of the DAP is smaller than that of the (e,A0).
