Abstract

Global water scarcity and water purification challenges continue to drive advancements in separation membrane technology. However, complex biofouling has substantially hindered the sustainable development of membranes. Surface modification technology, as one of the most promising strategies for combating biofouling, has recently garnered considerable attention. This review provides a comprehensive overview of major breakthroughs in novel antibacterial membranes based on different materials, focusing on two primary antibacterial mechanisms: “active attack” and “passive defence.” In addition, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), responsive materials, and quorum sensing (QS) are also discussed in the context of their applications in the field of antibacterial membranes, laying the foundation for transformative progress in this area. Furthermore, the challenges and potential solutions associated with the application of various materials and technologies are thoroughly examined. This review serves as a practical and integrative guide for the further development of water separation antibacterial membranes.

基于主动攻击和被动防御策略的抗生物污染膜：综合综述和未来挑战

全球水资源短缺和水净化的挑战继续推动分离膜技术的进步。然而，复杂的生物污染严重阻碍了膜的可持续发展。表面改性技术作为对抗生物污染最有前途的策略之一，近年来引起了人们的广泛关注。本文综述了基于不同材料的新型抗菌膜的重大突破，重点介绍了两种主要的抗菌机制：“主动攻击”和“被动防御”。此外，还讨论了人工智能（AI）、响应材料（responsive materials）、群体感应（quorum sensing）等新兴技术在抗菌膜领域的应用，为该领域的革命性进展奠定了基础。此外，与各种材料和技术的应用相关的挑战和潜在的解决方案进行了彻底的检查。本文对水分离抗菌膜的进一步开发具有一定的指导意义。
