Solar steam generation (SSG) based on the photothermal effect has been considered to be a promising avenue for freshwater production. However, the fabrication of highly-efficient photothermal layers, at large-scale and low-cost is still a challenge, hindering practical applications. Herein, it is demonstrated that carbonized towel-gourd sponges (CTGS) are excellent photothermal materials. And a capillarity-driven interfacial self-coating method is developed to prepare the super-hydrophilic CTGS/paper photothermal layer. The SSG device based on the CTGS/paper exhibits a high evaporation rate of 1.53 kg m(-2) h(-1) with an efficiency of 95.9% under 1 sun irradiation. The high evaporation rate only slightly reduces when confronting the diverse and complex practical SSG conditions, such as seawater and waste water. Moreover, CTGS/paper has the advantages of simple preparation, recyclablability, low-cost (approximate to 4 $ per m(2)), high-efficiency, flexibility, and scalability, which are the important prerequisites for promoting SSG techniques for industrialization and practical applications. In addition, the versatile energy conversion ability of the CTGS/paper is also demonstrated. Assisted by the photothermal effect of CTGS/paper, solar energy is converted to mechanical energy and electricity.
