Nanosheet‐based microspheres of ZnO:Eu (see figure) are fabricated via pyrolysis of Zn 5 (OH) 6 (CO 3 ) 2 hierarchical microspheres. Efficient ZnO→Eu 3+ energy transfer is observed, which is attributed to surface defects at the nonpolar [11?00] surface of a ZnO nanosheet that couples with Eu 3+ and stabilizes the Eu 2+ trap level just below the conduction band of ZnO.
