KAUST present a novel electrocatalytic and microfiltration polymeric hollow fiber using ALD of platinum that is fabricated for simultaneous recovery of energy (H2) and clean fresh water from wastewater, hence addressing two grand challenges facing society in the current century (i.e., providing adequate supplies of clean fresh water and energy as the world's population increases).
