A new approach that uses mixed supercritical solvents of water/1-propanol and water/methanol (400 掳C, 40 MPa) to prepare morphology-controlled precursor materials in a very short reaction time, such as 10 min, followed by calcinations has been developed to form Eu3+:Y2O3 microspheres of 2鈥? 渭m in diameter or microcubes of 2鈥? 渭m in side length, respectively. Eu3+:Y2O3 microspheres and microcubes exhibited strong red emission at 610 nm corresponding to 5D0 鈫?7F2 transition. The highest photoluminescence emission was obtained for the microspheres after calcination at 1000 掳C for 1 h in air.
