Simultaneous electricity generation and filtration of wastewater

The purification of various water resources, such as rain, seawater, groundwater, river water, sewage, and wastewater, into potable or usable water is a high-energy process. But what if electricity could be generated during the water purification process? A joint research team has now developed a multifunctional membrane that can simultaneously generate electricity while purifying wastewater into drinking water.
