Lanthanum oxide was successfully incorporated into an SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve via the microwave-assisted synthesis method (MASM) for the first time, and was compared with liquid-phase grafting and thermal diffusion methods. A series of characterizations were used to characterize the prepared materials. The results showed that the preparation of (SBA-15)-La{sub 2}O{sub 3} host-guest composite materials by MASM has the advantages of simpler operation, higher efficiency and more plentiful lanthanum oxide could be incorporated into SBA-15 compared with other methods. In the prepared host-guest (SBA-15)-La{sub 2}O{sub 3} materials, the frameworks of the host molecular sieve were kept intact, their structures were still kept high ordered and the guest lanthanum oxide locates inside the pores of the SBA-15. The sizes of the prepared (SBA-15)-La{sub 2}O{sub 3} samples were 340-357 nm. The prepared host-guest composite materials show the properties of luminescence, and the luminescent intensities are about 2 times of bulk La{sub 2}O{sub 3}. - Graphical abstract: Lanthanum oxide was successfully incorporated into SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve via the microwave-assisted synthesis method (MASM) for the first time.
