Sieve and take : A biomimetic strategy was designed to fabricate two‐dimensional silica sieve plates (SSP) by use of catanionic surfactants as composite template and L ‐tartrate with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups as regulator. Tartrate was found to combine two capabilities in the formation of SSP structures: the connection of adjacent silica structures through H bonding and the separation of adjacent structures through electrostatic repulsion.
