The　selective　and　efficient　removal　of　pollutants　is　essential　for　wastewater　treatment　and　resource　recycling.　In　this　study,　an　ultra-thin　molecularly　imprinted　polymers　(MIPs)　membrane　with　a　thickness　of　1　nm　was　synthesized　by　a　facile　atom　transfer　radical　polymerization　(ATRP)　method　using　layered　double　hydroxides　(LDH)　as　the　template　substrate.　The　as-prepared　MIPs　membrane　was　characterized　by　XRD,　TEM,　AFM,　FTIR　and　BET　measurements.　This　material　was　then　applied　for　the　selective　preconcentration　of　Rhodamine　B　(RhB)　in　water.　Benefiting　from　the　surface-imprinting　technique,　a　high　adsorption　capacity　of　100.1　mg　g-1　was　obtained　with　an　enrichment　multiple　of　27.3　times.　It　was　interesting　that　the　MIPs　adsorption　was　temperature-sensitive,　which　was　employed　as　a　simple　and　environmentally　friendly　desorption　strategy　by　changing　the　operating　temperature.　The　applicability　of　the　material　was　demonstrated　by　recovering　RhB　from　real　water　samples.　These　membrane-structured　MIPs　are　highly　selective,　reproductive,　and　can　be　produced　on　a　large　scale,　and　thus　are　promising　adsorbents　for　wastewater　treatment　and　organic　resource　recycling.　©　The　Royal　Society　of　Chemistry　2015.
