The reaction medium comprised supercritical methanol with carboxylic acid as an organic additive. Mesoporous Er doped CeO_2 and Er and Yb co-doped CeO_2 nanospheres emit green light under even low-power IR laser irradiation (980 nm, 10 mW) without calcination. Stronger intensity was achieved by high-temperature calcination. Spherical mesoporous nanoparticles were successfully doped with other metals and nitrogen to form TiO_2:Eu, TiO_2:Ce, TiO_2:Yb, TiO_2:Fe, and TiO2:N according to the similar procedure combining supercritical methanol.}, pages = {71--77}, title = {Ultimately Simple One-pot Single-step Synthesis of Rare Earth Doped Spherical Mesoporous Metal Oxide Nanospheres with Upconversion Emission Ability in Supercritical Methanol}, volume = {80}, year = {2013} }
