As new application scenarios for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to expand, LIBs are expected to be multifunctional to adapt to these scenarios, in addition to the requirement for high energy storage performance [1], [2]. However, there is more or less a conflict between multifunctionality and basic energy storage performance, which is particularly notable in the development of high-performance flexible batteries.

Interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) is a technology that limits solar photogenerated heat to the gas–liquid interface to achieve a highly efficient water vapor phase change, which can sufficiently reduce heat loss and has the advantage of zero carbon emission [1], [2], [3], [4]. Due to its simple structure and low operating environment requirements, ISVG can be used in complex applications such as seawater desalination, brine concentration and wastewater treatment [5], [6], [7], [8].

Water pollution has become an increasingly severe global issue with continuous economic growth and agricultural modernization, which has resulted in escalating tensions between human activity and the natural environment [1], [2]. Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation, an important category of advanced oxidation processes, shows promising potential and superiority in controlling water pollution by relying on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from the activation of ozone (O3) [3], [4], [5].

Chromium (Cr) is a ubiquitous toxic contaminant in groundwater and has been listed as a Class A Human Carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) [1]. In the natural environment, Cr exists mainly in trivalent (Cr(III)) and hexavalent (Cr(VI)) forms [2]. Compared with Cr(III), Cr(VI) is more soluble, mobile, and toxic [3], [4]. The removal of Cr(VI) has been of great environmental importance for groundwater remediation.
