Abstract Improving interfacial solar evaporation performance is crucial for the practical application of this technology in solar‐driven seawater desalination. Lowering enthalpy one most promising and effective strategies to significantly improve rate. In study, a new pathway lower vaporization by introducing heterogeneous interactions between hydrophilic hybrid materials water molecules developed. 2D MoN 1.2 nanosheets are synthesized integrated with rGO form stacked ‐rGO heterostructures massive junction interfaces evaporation. Molecular dynamics simulation confirms that atomic thick simultaneously interact molecules, while remarkably different. These cause an imbalanced state, which easily breaks hydrogen bonds leading dramatically lowered improved rate (2.6 kg m −2 h −1 ). This study provides strategy designing 2D‐2D regulate evaporate clean production.
