A facile one‐step strategy is explored to achieve uniform luminescent Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a two‐dimensional ultrathin silica matrix based on simultaneous reaction and assembly at the liquid–liquid interface. The as‐prepared AuNPs/silica nanocomposites can be further employed to fabricate micrometer‐thick films with bifunctional luminescent and superhydrophobic properties. Such a versatile concept is ideal for the development of multifunctional devices.
