Mussel‐inspired polydopamine (PDA) deposition offers a promising route to fabricate multifunctional coatings for various materials. However, PDA deposition is generally a time‐consuming process, and PDA coatings are unstable in acidic and alkaline media, as well as in polar organic solvents. We report a strategy to realize the rapid deposition of PDA by using CuSO 4 /H 2 O 2 as a trigger. Compared to the conventional processes, our strategy shows the fastest deposition rate reported to date, and the PDA coatings exhibit high uniformity and enhanced stability. Furthermore, the PDA‐coated porous membranes have excellent hydrophilicity, anti‐oxidant properties, and antibacterial performance. This work demonstrates a useful method for the environmentally friendly, cost‐effective, and time‐saving fabrication of PDA coatings.
