Cobalt–copper bimetallic oxides (CoCuOx) show great potential for constructing high-performance micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) for micro-electronic applications. However, their poor conductivity and complex preparation procedures significantly hinder their broad applications. To address these challenges, oxygen-vacancy-modified CoCuOx-based binder-free electrodes were fabricated using a one-step computer numerical control wire electrical discharge machining (CNCWEDM) strategy. This approach enabled the fabrication of CoCuOx-based maze-like MSCs (CoCuMMSCs) with designable electrochemical performance, which could be simply controlled by their geometric shape and machining voltage. Subsequently, theoretical simulations were conducted for studying the effect of MSCs geometric shape on their capacitive behavior. Remarkably, the CoCuMMSCs fabricated by a machining voltage of 100 V achieved the maximum capacitance of 32.8 mF cm−2 at 0.15 mA cm−2. Furthermore, the CoCuMMSCs demonstrated outstanding performance at ultrahigh scan rates of up to 50,000 mV s−1, exceeding by more than two orders of magnitude the values previously reported in the literature. The obtained results proved that the development of the CNCWEDM technique facilitated manufacturing CoCuMMSCs devices with excellent performance by the comprehensive utilization of oxygen-vacancy incorporation, synergistic effect of cobalt and copper oxides, binder-free electrode design, proper device construction and controllable machining voltage. The advanced CNCWEDM strategy creates a new pathway for the high-efficiency fabrication of high-performance bimetallic-oxide-based micro-electronic devices, such as MSCs, intelligent micro-sensors and micro-batteries.
