The membrane-like air-cathodes modified with different polyaniline were prepared using phase inversion method, which possessed dual functions of interception and electrochemical degradation, and showed good conductivity (15.9 ± 0.4 to 25.7 ± 0.5 mS cm) and porosity (77.0 ± 0.1 to 87.8 ± 0.1%) compared to the unmodified control one (13.2 ± 0.5 mS cm, and 63.1 ± 0.7%). At tetracycline 50 mg L, the cathode with 25 wt% polyaniline exhibited the highest rejection rate and final removal (71.1% and 92.9%, 35.9% and 31.4% higher than the control), the highest water flux recovery (97.9%), and the lowest attenuation of porosity and conductivity. The modified cathode also showed an autocatalytic effect on HO, an obvious OH peak appeared on the electron paramagnetic resonance curves. It also had good anti-fouling performance because it exhibited a high durability (the final removal was decreased by 4.0% after 15 cycles) with a long service life of 124 periods (372 h, 15.5 d). The tetracycline (0.5 mg L) removal in the river background was near 100%, and the chemical oxygen demand removal was 91.9%, supporting that it was suitable for treating antibiotics in natural water without adding agents but only for electricity consumption.

Electro-conductive membranes coupled with a low-voltage electric field can enhance pollutant removal and mitigate membrane fouling, demonstrating significant potential for electrified wastewater treatment. However, efficient fabrication of conductive membranes poses challenges. An in situ oxidative polymerization approach was applied to prepare PVDF-based conductive membranes (PVDF-CMs) and response surface methodology (RSM) was adopted to optimize modification conditions enhancing membrane performance.

As a global challenge, marine biofouling is causing serious economic losses and adverse ecological impacts. In recent years, a variety of promising and environmentally friendly anti-fouling strategies have emerged, among which the excellent anti-fouling performance of bionic autocrine coatings has been recognized. However, bionic autocrine coatings still suffer from uncontrollable secretion behavior, poor mechanical stability, and poor abrasion resistance.

In recent years, solar-driven photothermal water evaporation technology for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment has developed rapidly, which is of great significance for addressing the issue of freshwater scarcity. However, due to the high costs associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and operation of such devices, their application remains challenging in remote and resource-scarce regions. Due to its excellent light absorption capability in the near-infrared region, high hydrophilicity, and stable chemical properties, coupled with the low cost of recycling waste carbonized polyphenylene sulfide, this material is an excellent choice as a photothermal material for solar-driven water evaporation devices.

The almost hydrophobic PVDF membrane (PVDF matrix) commonly exhibited excellent performance in pollutant rejection but with poor anti-fouling performance. This study intended to develop the rejection performance and enhance anti-fouling of the PVDF membrane in an O/UF/BAC system for high quality water production through leveraging the advantages of in-situ ozonation and the nature of the PVDF membrane. Reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis demonstrated that the PVDF membrane exhibited excellent ozone resistance by reducing hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions between the membrane surface and ozone.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is one of the most attractive approaches to addressing the global freshwater shortage. However, achieving an integrated high evaporation rate, salt harvesting, and multifunctionality in evaporator is still a crucial challenge. Here, a novel composite membrane with biomimetic micro-nanostructured superhydrophobic surface is designed via ultrafast laser etching technology.
