Polycrystalline zeolite films –of great importance in catalysis, separation, and sensing—can be grown on various substrates, but in most cases there are problems in detaching the films. It is shown that a mercury surface accelerates the nucleation and crystallization of MFI‐type zeolites and that the surface of the film against the mercury (left in Figure) is smoother than that on the solution side (right in Figure).
