Membrane fouling is still the main obstacle for the wider application of membrane processes. In this study, different amounts of silver modified graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/g-C3N4) were firstly introduced into polyethersulfone (PES) membranes by blending via a phase-inversion method. The impacts of Ag/g-C3N4 addition on the membrane morphology, filtration and photocatalysis antifouling properties of Ag/gC(3)N(4)/PES nanocomposite membranes were systematically studied. The results illustrated that the addition of Ag/g-C3N4 could make the finger-like voids in Ag/g-C3N4 nanocomposite membrane longer and wider, increasing the hydrophilicity and filtration property of the nanocomposite membrane. Also the addition of Ag/g-C3N4 nanosheets could endow the nanocomposite membranes with excellent antibacterial, photocatalytic dye degradation and antifouling properties under visible light irradiation.
