Abstract
Recently the green synthesis of nanoparticles involving plant extract has attracted the attention of researchers. In this work we present an environmentally friendly, one step, ultra-fast, cost-efficient method for producing Cobalt oxide nanoparticles using readily available Moringa Oleifera (Drumstick) extracts as reducing and capping agent. The bio-reduced cobalt nanoparticles were appropriately characterized. The cobalt oxide nanoparticles are characterized by UV-DRS, IR, powder XRD, SEM and EDX. To characterize the crystal phase identification of the nanoparticle, X-ray Powder Diffraction (Powder XRD) is used. Surface morphology was studied by SEM and EDX to determine the amount of cobalt present. The unique physicochemical characteristics of Cobalt oxide are believed to have increased medical applications when synthesized via environmentally benign methods free of toxic byproducts.
