At the heterophase interface, phosphate ions and tannic acid (TA) in the coagulation bath (nonsolvent phase) encounter the metal ions in the casting solution (solvent phase) for biomimetic mineralized membrane growth. Metal ions, as sites of mineralization nucleation, combine with phosphoric acid to form minerals, and TA regulates the mineralization process by chelating with metal ions.

Through targeted precursor pretreatment and digitally controlled laser processing, ultralightweight GAs with interconnected ultrathin sheets and denser strut-like boundaries are produced. Despite their low density, these GAs exhibit remarkable properties owing to their high graphitic crystallinity and seamless architecture, achieving rapid and stable Joule heating with superior efficiency (∼137.43°C W<sup>−1</sup>), ideal for de-icing applications. The programmable laser process enables geometry-customizable fabrication, allowing material and energy-efficient design optimization for next-generation automotive and aerospace systems.
