The rising demand for freshwater and the challenge of energy scarcity have fueled interest in solar interfacial water evaporation technology, which harnesses solar energy to produce clean water. Attaining high performance with this technology necessitates the development of highly efficient photothermal materials, heat management optimization, and the resolution of salt deposition issues to ensure equipment longevity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess large specific surface areas and high porosity, making them ideal for various water treatment applications. In recent years, MOFs have been extensively employed for solar-driven desalination. Here, we review recent developments in the functionalization of MOFs thin films, composites and MOFs-based derivatives and strategies for achieving efficient seawater desalination with MOFs while preventing salt deposition. Furthermore, desalination systems that integrate pollutant degradation and power generation are discussed, which further expand the application scenarios of solar-driven interfacial water evaporation desalination technologies.

The scarcity of fresh water necessitates sustainable and efficient water desalination strategies. Solar‐driven steam generation (SSG), which employs solar energy for water evaporation, has emerged as a promising approach. Graphene oxide (GO)‐based membranes possess advantages like capillary action and Marangoni effect, but their stacking defects and dead zones of flexible flakes hinders efficient water transportation, thus the evaporation rate lag behind unobstructed‐porous 3D evaporators. Therefore, fundamental mass‐transfer approach for optimizing SSG evaporators offers new horizons. Herein, a universal multi‐force‐fields‐based method is presented to regularize membrane channels, which can mechanically eliminate inherent interlayer stackings and defects. Both characterization and simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach across different scales and explain the intrinsic mechanism of mass‐transfer enhancement. When combined with a structurally optimized substrate, the 4Laponite@GO‐1 achieves evaporation rate of 2.782 kg m−2 h−1 with 94.48% evaporation efficiency, which is comparable with most 3D evaporators. Moreover, the optimized membrane exhibits excellent cycling stability (10 days) and tolerance to extreme conditions (pH 1–14, salinity 1%–15%), verifies the robust structural stability of regularized channels. This optimization strategy provides simple but efficient way to enhance the SSG performance of GO‐based membranes, facilitating their extensive application in sustainable water purification technologies.
