Large‐sized (ca. 40 nm) mesoporous Er 2 O 3 thin films are synthesized by using a triblock copolymer poly(styrene‐ b ‐2‐vinyl pyridine‐ b ‐ethylene oxide) (PS‐ b ‐P2VP‐ b ‐PEO) as a pore directing agent. Each block makes different contributions and the molar ratio of PVP/Er 3+ is crucial to guide the resultant mesoporous structure. An easy and general method is proposed and used to prepare a series of mesoporous rare‐earth oxide (Sm 2 O 3 , Dy 2 O 3 , Tb 2 O 3 , Ho 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 , and Lu 2 O 3 ) thin films with potential uses in electronics and optical devices.
