Electrified Membranes for Water Treatment Applications
Open accessAbstract
Electrified membranes (EMs) have the potential to address inherent limitations of conventional membrane technologies. Recent studies have demonstrated that EMs exhibit enhanced functions beyond separation. Electrification could enhance the performance and sustainability of membrane technologies and stimulate new applications in water and wastewater treatment. Herein, we first describe EM materials, synthesis methods, electrofiltration modules, and operating modes. Next, we highlight applications of EMs in water decontamination, purification, and disinfection. Additionally, we discuss state-of-the-art electrification methods for controlling membrane organic fouling, biofouling, and inorganic scaling. We also evaluate the energy consumption of EMs for water treatment and fouling control. We conclude by discussing the challenges for improving the stability and practicality of EMs and by proposing pathways for future research and development. On the basis of our discussion, we suggest that EMs may be viable for ultrafiltration and microfiltration but not for salt-rejecting reverse osmosis and nanofiltration applications. Further, we find that EMs are promising for decontamination and organic fouling control, and these systems could be deployed for fit-for-purpose distributed treatment applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
