This study presents the development of self-cleaning nanocomposite membranes based on sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene and 2D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets for efficient water purification. The membranes were synthesized using solution casting with 1 and 5 wt. % g-C3N4 as a photocatalytic filler. A comprehensive physicochemical characterization was conducted using XRD, FTIR, SEM, DRS, and adsorption tests. The photocatalytic performance was assessed through the degradation of methylene blue under visible light. Results show that membranes with 5 wt. % g-C3N4 exhibit enhanced adsorption efficiency (k = 0.0800 min-1) and notable photocatalytic activity (k = 0.0083 min-1), leading to effective dye removal and self-cleaning functionality. These findings highlight the potential of hybrid polymer-nanomaterial membranes for sustainable wastewater treatment. The proposed membranes offer a promising solution for removing hazardous organic pollutants while maintaining long-term operational stability.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Загрязнение воды промышленными сточными водами представляет серьезную экологическую проблему, особенно из-за присутствия опасных органических красителей. В данном исследовании представлена разработка самоочищающихся нанокомпозитных мембран на основе сульфированного тетрафторэтилена и нанолистов двухмерного графитоподобного нитрида углерода (g-C3N4) для эффективной очистки воды. Мембраны были синтезированы методом литья с использованием 1 мас.% и 5 мас.% g-C3N4 в качестве фотокаталитического наполнителя. Была проведена комплексная физико-химическая характеристика с использованием РФА, ИК-Фурье спектроскопии, СЭМ, СДО и адсорбционных испытаний. Эффективность фотокаталитического процесса оценивали в процессе разложения метиленового синего под действием видимого света. Результаты показывают, что мембраны с содержанием 5 мас.% g-C3N4 обладают повышенной эффективностью адсорбции (k = 0.0800 мин–1) и заметной фотокаталитической активностью (k = 0.0071 мин–1), что приводит к эффективному удалению красителя и самоочищению. Эти результаты подчеркивают потенциал гибридных мембран из полимерных наноматериалов для устойчивой очистки сточных вод. Предлагаемые мембраны являются многообещающим решением для удаления опасных органических загрязнителей при сохранении долгосрочной эксплуатационной стабильности.</title></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>полимеры</kwd><kwd>не содержащие металлов катализаторы</kwd><kwd>иономерные фторполимерные мембраны</kwd><kwd>интеллектуальные наноматериалы</kwd><kwd>фотокатализ</kwd><kwd>усовершенствованные процессы окисления</kwd><kwd>удаление красителей</kwd><kwd>восстановление окружающей среды</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>polymers</kwd><kwd>metal-free catalysts</kwd><kwd>ionomeric fluoropolymer membranes</kwd><kwd>smart nanomaterials</kwd><kwd>photocatalysis</kwd><kwd>advanced oxidation processes</kwd><kwd>dye removal</kwd><kwd>environmental remediation</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">M.
