Advanced nanocomposite membranes have been developed to meet the requirements of sustainable wastewater treatment, such as high separation efficiency, photocatalytic function, and anti-fouling ability in recent days. While several reviews individually addressed the application of carbon and TiO2 nanomaterials for wastewater treatment, the application of deep-sea derived nanoemulsions with carbon nanofiber (CNF)-TiO2 nanocomposite membranes and their associated Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and commercialization opportunities have not yet been comprehensively studied. Despite recent attention, the use of deep-sea microorganisms for biosurfactant-based functional nanoemulsion production remains largely unexplored. This review critically examines recent advances in multifunctional membrane systems incorporating carbon-based nanomaterials, TiO2 nanoparticles and biosurfactant-assisted nanoemulsion from deep-sea mixotrophic microorganisms. Additionally focuses on improvement of membrane properties using carbon nanomaterials and discusses engineered carbon-TiO2 interfaces that optimize photocatalytic degradation and antimicrobial activity by charge separation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Design and optimization of interfacial interactions for better electron transport and membrane performance was discussed in detail for CNF based TiO2 nanocomposite membrane.
