Synchronous construction of heterogeneous materials from distinct molecular units into functional hybrids within one synthesis system holds large potential for customizing properties and applications, but which requires the elaborate coordination of individual growth, assemblies, their interactions and even dynamic behaviors, thus still remains an enormous challenge. Here we develop a simple soft template-mediated coupling construction approach to achieve an unexplored sandwiched mesoporous polypyrrole (PPy) nanocoating/single-crystal Ag nanoplate hybrid by a one-step inorganic/organic redox reaction at the liquid interface. The chemically oxidative polymerization of pyrrole accompanies the reduction of Ag+ at room temperature, and the amphiphilic template confines the growth of the single-crystal Ag nanoplate and synchronously guides the formation of the mesoporous PPy nanocoating by hydrogen bond and chelation interaction, emerging into a novel sandwiched nanohybrid with adjustable mesopores (20~40 nm), changeable thickness (150~300 nm), strong near-infrared absorption and Raman enhancement effect. As a chemiresistive material in a planar-configuration gas sensor, it delivers a shorter response (7 s) and recovery time (21 s) than those for previously reported sensors and remarkable sensing response sensitivity to NH3 (11.6% for 1 ppm). These results are due to the unique nanoarchitecture with exposed active sites and strong coupling effects.
