Producing zeolite films with controlled preferred orientation on an industrial scale is a long‐standing challenge. Herein we report on a scalable approach to the direct wet deposition of zeolite thin films and membranes while maintaining a high degree of control over the preferred crystal orientation. As a proof of concept, thin films comprising aluminophosphate zeolite AEI were cast on silicon wafer or porous alumina substrates. Electrical properties and separation performance of the zeolite thin films/membranes were engineered through controlling degree of preferred crystal orientation.
