and energy efficiency reaching 153.20% under 1-sun, which exceeds the theoretical limit and is the highest recorded, to the best of our knowledge. Notably, the 3D-LBE also shows impressive pollutant removal capabilities assuring long-term interfacial evaporation stability. The high-performance LBE promises many applications, such as wastewater treatment, sea salt production, and metal recovery.
