Monodisperse La2(MoO4)3:Yb,Tm microarchitectures with uniform waxberry-like morphology have beensuccessfully constructed in large scale by a facile surfactant-assisted hydrothermal route, in which sodiumlauryl sulfate (SLS) was used as the structure directing agent. It was found that the pH value was a crucialfactor controlling the phase composition and purity, which was unaffected by surfactant SLS. The growthprocess of these waxberry-shaped microarchitectures has been examined in detail, and it was proved that aspecial dissolution-recrystallization transformation mechanism as well as a preferential adsorption of SLSprocess was responsible for the morphology evolution of the La2(MoO4)3:Yb,Tm microarchitectures. Amechanism for the formation of the waxberry-shape La2(MoO4)3:Yb,Tm microarchitectures was put forward.The specially shaped architectures showed blue up-conversion emission properties.
