Summary: The increasing occurrence of micropollutants in water and wastewater threatens human health and ecological security. Electrocatalytic membrane (EM), a new hybrid water treatment platform that integrates membrane separation with electrochemical technologies, has attracted extensive attention in the removal of micropollutants from water and wastewater in the past decade. Here, we systematically review the recent advances of EM for micropollutant removal from water and wastewater. The mechanisms of the EM for micropollutant removal are first introduced. Afterwards, the related membrane materials and operating conditions of the EM are summarized and analyzed. Lastly, the challenges and future prospects of the EM in research and applications are also discussed, aiming at a more efficient removal of micropollutants from water and wastewater.
