ABSTRACT

"Marine Strategy" is an important national development strategy of China. Marine resource development and environmental protection, maritime transportation, seaport and coastal defense construction, marine engineering equipment, and marine exploration equipment all require a large number of new functional materials. Carbon-based materials have shown good application prospects in many scientific and engineering fields. This article systematically reviews the application progress of carbon-based functional materials in the field of marine science, focusing on the applications in environmental emergency materials, anti-corrosion coatings, structural materials, seawater desalination and other fields. It also reviews the emerging applications of carbon-based functional materials in marine energy storage and other fields. Directional applications are prospected.
