A facile one‐step solvothermal approach to engineer a van der Waals integrated heteromaterial self‐assembled superstructure composed of two structurally distinct species that is polyoxomolybdate and zirconia (POM‐ZrO 2 ) is reported. Nonclassical aggregation‐based self‐assembly process grows the superstructure. The introduced POM not only behaves as a catalytically active component of the hybrid structure but also imparts flexibility to the developed POM‐ZrO 2 superstructures. The material shows high performance toward oxygenation of thioethers as a result of its morphology, composition, and structure. This growing strategy may introduce a viable pathway to the rational design of Van der Waals integrated complex hybrid, catalytically active assemblies with potential applications in different fields.
