Climate change, industrial and agricultural activities, and population growth exacerbate global water stress. A variety of advanced technologies have been studied to alleviate water scarcity and water pollution. Membrane technology owing to its low footprints and ease of operation, has drawn intensive attention for water purification and wastewater treatment. Further, integrating membrane technology, electrochemistry and catalysis can improve separation and selectivity of the filtration process. This work aims to fabricate high-performance active and reactive ultrafiltration membranes involving electrically conductive membranes, catalytic membranes and electrocatalytic membranes. Their use in water treatment inspires the development of advanced functionalized membranes and further accelerates the transition to industrial applications.
