Development of Stimuli-Responsive Electroconductive Membranes for Water Treatment. The goal of the proposed research project is to fabricate robust electro-active/reactive membranes, in which their fouling propensity can be minimized when subjected to an electric field. Various techniques, such as electrospraying and atomic layer deposition will be used to modify membranes’ surface through a robust adherence of electro-conductive materials at the nanoscale. The general idea is to enhance the functionality of the membranes in terms of electro-reactive properties, where a series of oxidative/reductive reactions protect the membrane from fouling during the operation. The synthesized membranes, apart from acting as a separation barrier, can (1) non-selectively degrade harmful organic matter in a feed stream, (2) display antifouling properties for long-term applications, and (3) possess tunable separation characteristics for different types of feed streams.
