Abstract Solar‐driven water‐electricity co‐generation (WEC) emerges as a viable solution to address global freshwater and energy scarcity. Phase change materials (PCMs)‐based WEC systems have been proposed solve intermittent solar radiation issues. Nevertheless, performances decline significantly leading limited operating durations in dark. The study proposes new concept of directional‐thermal‐conductive PCMs above challenges. By precisely regulating hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity distribution Cu substrates, the structural disorder boron nitride‐based is effectively tuned achieve directional thermal transport. These exhibit high phase transition enthalpy 250.4 J g −1 large thermal‐conductivity anisotropy index 3.24, which improves heat exchange between photothermal/thermoelectric, minimizes transverse dissipation simultaneously. Consequently, PCMs‐based achieves evaporation rates 2.51 kg m −2 h with power outputs 1759.7 mW at 1 sun, among best performance reported state‐of‐the‐art studies. More impressively, its rate still reaches 0.93 superior output 411.0 prolonged operation time 90 minutes nighttime, surpassing previously‐reported devices nondirectional‐thermal‐conductive designs. Finally, an omniphobic PVDF membrane demonstrated that can improve anti‐fouling for lifespan.
