Abstract The control of membrane morphology and microstructure is crucial to improve the separation performance of molecular‐sieve membranes. This can be enabled by making thin, dense, and uniform seed‐crystal coatings, which are then intergrown into continuous membranes. Herein, we show a novel and simple floating particle coating method can give closely packed monolayers of zeolite nanosheets on nonporous or porous supports. The zeolite nanosheet monolayer is formed at the air–water interface in a conical Teflon trough. As the water in the trough is drained, the monolayer is deposited on a support placed below. Membranes prepared by gel‐free secondary growth of the nanosheets deposited by this method show unprecedented ultra‐selective performance for separation of para‐ from ortho‐xylene (separation factor >10 000).
