Description
Summary:Fouling is a ubiquitous challenge in water treatment systems. Typically, aggressive chemical cleaning or replacement of components are the only options. In article number 2002847, Jianquan Luo, Seth B. Darling, and co‐workers demonstrate a thin catalytic coating sensitive to visible light that enables membrane self‐cleaning in situ or in operando within filtration apparatuses. Photodegradation of organic pollutants is also possible with these membranes.
