We herein present oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide quantum dots (MoO<sub>3-x</sub> QDs), which possess matching-absorption-spectrum to solar light in both visible and near infrared regions, for proof-of-concept of interfacial water evaporation. Theoretical modeling suggests that the unique optical property of MoO<sub>3-x</sub> QDs results from oxygen defect level, instead of localized surface plasmon resonance.
