“…For this purpose, MEC needed a very low electrical supply under optimum conditions [75,76]. The rise in MEC should be due to the ongoing development of energy and resource recovery from zero value wastewater, particularly concerning the research related to hydrogen production from the dark-fermentation process and bioelectricity generation from MFCs [77,78]. MEC offers a "one stone two birds" solution for energy generation (in the form of hydrogen/ methane) and waste remediation at the same time [79,80].…”

“…MEC offers a "one stone two birds" solution for energy generation (in the form of hydrogen/ methane) and waste remediation at the same time [79,80]. MEC is an efficient approach for biohydrogen production; it can also utilize wastewater to produce hydrogen, methane, or other chemical compounds [77]. In MECs, electrochemically active microbes utilize carbon-rich organic substances near the anode and need significantly low energy compared to the electrolysis process [81].…”

“…Hence, these MECs can be directly used in the existing wastewater treatment plants with few sustainable energy modifications with concurrent waste treatment. This approach will make the waste treatment process economically viable process [77]. The process must occur for this to happen, and it will only happen if you provide at least − 0.414 V of voltage to the cathode.…”

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are a new and emerging technology in the field of fermentation technology. Electrical energy was provided externally to the microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) to generate hydrogen or value-added chemicals, including caustic, formic acid, acetic acid, and peroxide. Also, BES was designed to recover nutrients, metals or remove recalcitrant compounds. The variety of naturally existing microorganisms and enzymes act as a biocatalyst to induce potential differences amid the electrodes. BESs can be performed with non-catalyzed electrodes (both anode and cathode) under favorable circumstances, unlike conventional fuel cells. In recent years, value-added chemical producing microbial electrosynthesis (MES) technology has intensely broadened the prospect for BES. An additional strategy includes the introduction of innovative technologies that help with the manufacturing of alternative materials for electrode preparation, ion-exchange membranes, and pioneering designs. Because of this, BES is emerging as a promising technology. This article deliberates recent signs of progress in BESs so far, focusing on their diverse applications beyond electricity generation and resulting performance.

“…Global water scarcity, driven by rapid urbanization, population growth and climate change, is a critical issue nowadays and is expected to get worse in the next decade. As a result, alternative sources of fresh water such as from seawater and wastewater are being sought out [1]. The vast amounts of seawater available makes desalination as a viable option for freshwater extraction.…”

“…The hydrophilic layer of the Janus membranes plays as a fouling barrier. In addition, it works as a heat barrier and decreases the total heat transfer without sacrificing the mass transfer coefficient [1,41]. This review presents the recent advances progress on the fabrication, challenges and application of Janus membranes for MD [27,[34][35][36].…”

Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising hybrid thermal-membrane separation technology that can efficiently produce freshwater from seawater or contaminated wastewater.However, the relatively low flux and the presence of fouling or wetting agents in feed solution negate the applicability of MD for long term operation. In recent years, 'two-faced' membranes or Janus membranes have shown promising potential to decrease wetting and fouling problem of common MD system as well as enhance the flux performance. In this review, a comprehensive study was performed to investigate the various fabrication, modification, and novel design processes to prepare Janus membranes and discuss their performance in desalination and wastewater treatment utilizing MD. The promising potential, challenges and future prospects relating to the design and use of Janus membranes for MD are also tackled in this review.
