A fluorescent organic small molecule, hexaphenylsilole (HPS), has been used as a sensing material, while a HPS/polymethyl methacrylate composite film with a lotus leaf like structure is prepared by a simple electrospin method. The film shows high stability and excellent sensitivity for the metal ions Fe 3+ and Hg 2+ , respectively. The special surface morphology containing micro‐/nanocomposite structure is attributed to the exhibition of these unusual properties.
