description Transition metal oxides, distinguished by their high theoretical specific capacitance values, inexpensive cost, and low toxicity, have been extensively utilized as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors. Nevertheless, their conductivity is generally insufficient to facilitate rapid electron transport at high rates. Therefore, research on bimetallic oxide electrode materials has become a hot spot, especially in the field of micro-supercapacitors (MSC). Hence, this study presents the preparation of bimetallic oxide electrode materials via electro-spark machining (EM), which is efficient, convenient, green and non-polluting, as well as customizable. The fabricated copper-molybdenum bimetallic oxide (MoCuO<sub>x</sub>) device showed good electrochemical performance under the electrode system. It provided a high areal capacity of 50.2 mF cm<sup>−2</sup> (scan rate: 2 mV s<sup>−1</sup>) with outstanding cycling retention of 94.9% even after 2000 cycles. This work opens a new window for fabricating bimetallic oxide materials in an efficient, environmental and customizable way for various electronics applications.
