Radicals play active roles in biological membranes and advanced oxidation for pollutant degradation. It is scientifically interesting and practically important to develop bio-mimetic radical-containing membranes that can perform simultaneous water filtration and organics removal. In this study, we have revealed the mechanisms of enduring stable radicals in an emerging radical polymer (RP) in initiating and facilitating the oxidative degradation of organic pollutants. Furthermore, we have successfully developed an interpenetrating polymer network membrane with RP and demonstrated its effectiveness in simultaneous organic pollutant degradation and wastewater filtration within the context of wastewater treatment. Our work offers insights into the mechanism of RP-triggered advanced oxidation process and opens a new avenue for energy-efficient solution for wastewater treatment.
