Size control in advance: water‐in‐oil microemulsions exhibiting micelles of precisely adjusted size can be used to prepare La(OH) 3 hollow spheres with fine‐tuned diameter and cavity size. Namely La(OH) 3 hollow spheres are obtained with outer diameters ranging from 11 to 30 nm and an inner cavity from 2 to 17 nm.
