Key Points

This research aims to develop a bilayered aerogel for efficient solar-driven interfacial evaporation and photocatalytic treatment of contaminated wastewater.
Constructed MXene/PPAL-CN/BiOBr aerogel with a type-II heterojunction.
Tested solar evaporation efficiency in acidic conditions with 3% H2SO4.
Evaluated degradation of tetracycline (TC) in wastewater over 80 minutes.
Achieved a solar evaporation rate of 1.59 kg m−2 h−1, with 97.1% efficiency.
Maintained acid resistance with a rate of 1.50 kg m−2 h−1 in 3% H2SO4.
Attained 91% TC degradation after 80 minutes of treatment.
