Abstract Superelastic, arbitrary‐shaped, and 3D assembled clay/graphene aerogels (CGAs) are fabricated using commercial foam as sacrificial skeleton. The CGAs possess superelasticity under compressive strain of 95% stress 0.09–0.23 MPa. use clay skeletal support significantly reduces the graphene by 50%. hydrophobic show high solvent absorption capacity 186–519 times its own weight. Moreover, both compression combustion methods can be adopted for reusing CGAs. In particular, it is demonstrated a design hydrophilic CGA equipped with salt collection system continuous solar desalination. Due to energy recovery brine transport management promoted this design, exhibits an extremely evaporation rate 4.11 kg m −2 h −1 excellent salt‐resistant property without precipitation even in 20 wt% 36 illumination (1 kW ), which best reported result from desalination devices. More importantly, salts collected conveniently squeezing drying solution out system. work provides new insights into advances their applications efficient oil/organic adsorption.
