Highlights Free-standing bimodal porous interpenetrating-phase FeNiZn and FeNi3 intermetallic heterostructure is in situ built on NiFe foam by dealloying way. FeNiZn/FeNi3@NiFe exhibits superior electrocatalytic activities toward both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with very low overpotentials and prolonged catalytic durability in alkaline medium. The strong synergy between FeNiZn alloy and FeNi3 intermetallic generates modulated electron structure and thus well optimizes the intermediates chemisorption toward OER and HER.
