Design and thermo-environmental analysis of a novel solar-driven system integrating desalination, photocatalytic water splitting, and fuel cell technologies “article”

Ce type de système “multigénération” est particulièrement pertinent pour les régions arides et tropicales, car il offre une solution durable pour la production simultanée d’énergie et d’eau tout en minimisant l’empreinte carbone.
