Research
Our team's research is centered on the forefront of next-generation green and high-quality water purification technologies, using electrochemical and membrane filtration coupling as a point of entry. We delve into three fundamental scientific issues: the principles of electrode micro-interface reactions, the design of porous membrane electrode materials, and the optimization of electrochemical membrane filtration processes. Our primary aim is to elucidate the behaviors of pollutant migration, accumulation, transformation, and reduction within membrane electrodes. We have innovatively proposed low-pressure electrofiltration technology for rapid identification, precise detection, and efficient removal of emerging pollutants in water. This technology also facilitates the safe eradication of pathogenic microbes, provides early warning and self-cleaning of membrane fouling, and enables comprehensive, low-energy, and reliable integrated reuse of water resources.
