Due to their unique structure and physicochemical properties, metal micro-nanostructured array materials are commonly used in optics, magnetism, electricity, catalysis, and other fields. The preparation of metal micro-nanostructured array materials by electrochemical technology has the advantages of high controllability, simple preparation without a template, and large-scale production, giving it broad application prospects. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress in the field of preparing metal micro-nanostructured array materials using electrochemical technology, combining recent work by the author's team. Furthermore, this review also introduces and comments on the feasibility of electrochemical methods without a template, the research status and formation mechanism of metal micro-nanostructured array materials, the application status of metal micro-nanostructured array in various fields, and future development challenges. This review is expected to serve as a useful source of reference and educational tool for future research in this field, thereby promoting the application and development of this template-free electrodeposition method.
