The global challenge of providing safe water for human use, agriculture, and manufacturing for an ever growing and shifting population pose an opportunity for innovations in polymer chemistry, physics and engineering. In many ways, the supply of energy is intimately connected to that of water. Because of this advent property water purification has become the major task of today’s world. Membrane processes are considered as key technologies for advanced water purification. The membrane technology contribute up to 53% of the total world processes for clean water production. A breakthrough in membrane technology is needed to produce cleaner water with significant less cost and energy requirements. Thus, a single membrane process is inefficient in solving the given separation problem. Development of polymer membranes combined with the photocatalytic nanomaterials, which are activated by harvested natural light, are thought to improve the functionality of this membrane by absorption followed by the degradation of pollutants to harmless form.
