In this work, a freestanding NiFe oxyfluoride (NiFeOF) holey film was prepared by electrochemical deposition and anodic treatments. With the combination of good electrical conductivity and holey structure, the NiFeOF holey film offers superior electrochemical performance, due to the following reasons: (i) The residual metal alloy framework can be used as the current collector to improve electrode conductivity. Moreover, the as-prepared freestanding NiFeOF holey film can be used as a supercapacitor electrode without reliance on binders and other additives. The residual metal alloy framework and binder-free electrode effectively reduces electrode resistance, thus improving electron transport. (ii) The highly interconnected holey structure and hierarchical pore distribution provides a high specific surface area to improve electron transport, enhancing rapid ion transport and mitigating diffusion limitations throughout the holey film. (iii) The excellent mechanical characteristics facilitate flexibility and cyclability related performance. Additionally, the NiFeOF holey film presents exceptional electrochemical performance, showing that it is a promising alternative for small/micro-size electronic devices.
