Abstract

Microcube structure materials (MSM) have currently gained attention due to its high surface area, high porosity and other unique surface properties that are certain requirements for materials used in energy storage devices and sensor technology. The hydrothermal/solvothermal approach proved to be effective to synthesize microcube structure materials (MSM) with good surface properties. This review discusses the various preparation methods of microcube structure materials (MSM) and its applications in energy storage devices and sensor applications.
