As non-renewable resources continue to dwindle, the importance of green energy generation and storage is growing. In order to store energy effectively, especially for renewable sources, a reliable energy storage system needs to be developed. In this study, CoCr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (CCO) and N-rGO/CCO were fabricated employing a hydrothermal approach. The electrochemical performance of CCO and N-rGO/CCO was assessed by GCD at 1 A g<sup>-1</sup>, CCO and N-rGO/CCO nanohybrid displayed specific capacitances (C<sub>s</sub>) of 497.6 and 1062.25 F g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The structural defects and uniform anchoring of CCO nanoparticle on N-rGO nanosheets result in the improved electrochemical perfomance and C<sub>s</sub> of the N-rGO/CCO nanohybrid being consistently superior than CCO across all current densities. Furthermore, in two-electrode systems exhibit C<sub>s</sub> of 225.72 F g<sup>-1</sup> with P<sub>d</sub> (880 W kg<sup>-1</sup>), confirming the symmetric behaviour of N-rGO/CCO. In a 2-electrode setup, N-rGO/CCO demonstrate outstanding supercapacitive performance. This is due to the unique characteristics of N-rGO, which provide a flexible and scalable framework for the growth of CCO nanoparticles. Moreover, N-rGO/CCO nanohybrid has substantial potential to be used for supercapacitor electrode material, offering greater E<sub>d</sub> (6.06 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup>). Electrochemical investigations indicates that N-rGO improves CCO stability by enhancing C<sub>s</sub> through an extended discharge lifespan. N-rGO nanosheets within the nanohybrid enhance electron flow by acting as a conductive substrate. As a result, the N-rGO/CCO is an outstanding material for electrodes in supercapacitors and various energy storing devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organometallic Chemistry","volume":"1040 ","pages":"Article 123824"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144886862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To avoid these adverse effects, scientists were eager to find alternatives: they introduced other Pt-analogues and even non-Pt-analogues as new drugs. Nonetheless, their clinical promise remains only partially fulfilled. In this review, the main goal is to describe the anticancer properties studied on Iridium complexes so that Iridium analogues may be considered as alternatives to Cis-platin.
