Cross‐like Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 ·10H 2 O micro‐particles were synthesized through a simple precipitation method at room temperature. The products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG‐DTA) and photoluminescence (PL). The possible formation mechanism of the cross‐like Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 ·10H 2 O micro‐particles was discussed, and Pr 6 O 11 with similar morphology was obtained by calcining the oxalate precursor.
