Green　coating　research　and　development　has　taken　a　new　turn　in　recent　years　because　of　the　combination　of　nanomaterials　and　anticorrosive　and　antifouling　coatings.　Because　of　its　distinct　physicochemical　characteristics,　graphene,　a　novel　two-dimensional　material,　exhibits　significant　promise　in　anticorrosive　and　antifouling　coatings.　The　fundamental　characteristics　of　graphene　are　presented　in　this　paper　along　with　an　overview　of　its　uses　in　anticorrosive　films,　anticorrosive　coatings,　and　antifouling　coatings.　The　mechanism　underlying　graphene　anticorrosive　and　antifouling　coatings　is　also　presented,　along　with　the　difficulties　associated　with　them　and　their　potential　future　development.　It　seeks　to　serve　as　a　resource　for　the　study　and　use　of　anticorrosion　and　antifouling　coatings　based　on　graphene.
