Exciting findings have emerged from recent studies on using in situ electrochemical methods for water disinfection, demonstrating their effectiveness in deactivating microorganisms. However, significant precautions should be considered in future research to ensure a reliable drinking water supply. This viewpoint proposes strategies for evaluating the efficiency of disinfection processes, which will aid in advancing the readiness of this technology. Additionally, it explores the recent advancements in electrochemical disinfection (ED) techniques to avoid the generation of harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs) and examines how water composition affects treatment outcomes. Further research is needed to explore alternative materials and establish optimal operating parameters to avert DBP production. The effectiveness of hybrid and sequential disinfection methods depends on various factors, and small-scale devices powered by renewable energy sources present a significant challenge. The extensive use of chlorine conducted to the emergence of chlorine-resistant bacteria (CRB), threatening public health. The extensive use of chlorine has induced the emergence of chlorine-resistant bacteria (CRB) that threaten public health. Nanowire-assisted electroporation (EP) demonstrates remarkable stability when operating in complex water matrices. EP/Cl2 effectively treats CRB in raw water, highlighting its potential use in real water matrices. Bacteria's vulnerability to RSs is well-documented, as their exposure can destroy proteins, DNA, and lipid membranes, ultimately causing cell demise. This characteristic makes the electrochemical production of RSs a highly appealing method for eliminating microorganisms during water treatment. It is crucial to prioritize expanding hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that could wholly employ the unique features of numerous AI technologies and deliver enhanced ED efficiency.
