A self-cleaning membrane is formed of microfibers and/or nanofibers that contain functionalized nanoparticles. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles contain photo-catalytic particles, that when exposed to ultraviolet light, cause decomposition of organic molecules. The decomposed molecules may be easily flushed from the membrane. In one embodiment, the particles are titania nanoparticles, some of which are disposed on or near the outside of the fibers.
