Project title and description: Integrated Reactor for Synergistic Solar-driven Water Purification and Hydrogen Generation

A solar-powered water splitting system, coupled with water purification, efficiently generates hydrogen fuel by harnessing sunlight while purifying open-water sources like seawater and wastewater. This dual-function approach advances clean energy production and enhances water security by transforming contaminated water into a valuable resource.
