Synergy strategy of photocatalysts and polymer resins are promising technology for marine antifouling. However, it is still a main challenge to obtain a green, safe, and efficient antifouling coatings. Herein, carbon (graphene or CNT) modified TiO₂ photocatalyst was synthesized via hydrothermal and annealing process and has successfully applied in acrylate fluoroboron polymer (ABFP) composite coating. Morphology and chemical composition were detailed characterized. The graphene or CNT acted as a bridge with supplemental spatial structures (petal gaps, entanglement) and new functional groups (CO, CTiO, etc.) on TiO₂ particle. Carbon nanotube (CNT) modified TiO₂-ABFP coatings (BTCP) achieved excellent antibacterial and anti-diatom adhesion rate of 89.3%–96.70% and 99.00%–99.50%, which was 1.84–4.94-fold more than that of the single ABFP. CNT or graphene served as electronic bridges was considered as the crucial mechanism, which significantly improved the light absorption range and capacity, conductivity, and photoelectric response of TiO₂, and further accelerated the generation and transfer of free radicals to the surface of BTCP or FTGP. Moreover, the improvement of catalyst activity synergizes with the smooth surface, hydrophilicity, and slow hydrolysis of composite coatings, achieved long-term and efficient antifouling performance. This work provides a new insight into the modification of TiO₂ and antifouling mechanism of polymer coating.
