The composition, structure, and diffuse reflectance spectra of ZnO powder modified with SiO2 nanoparticles have been investigated in the range of 0.2−2.2 μm and in the IR range together with the radiation stability under irradiation with electrons at 30 keV and fluence up to 9∙1016 cm−2. It has been found that after modification and irradiation, new compounds are not formed, the intensity of some bands in the IR spectra decreases, and the reflectivity in the range from 0.4 to 2.2 μm decreases. An absorption band appears in the visible range with a maximum at 420 nm caused by intrinsic ZnO point defects; its intensity increases with increasing electron fluence. After irradiation, the induced absorption appears in the near-IR range due to free electrons. A comparison with unmodified ZnO powder showed the effectiveness of modification to increase the radiation stability.
