Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers nowadays and it is considered as an alternative method to Physical and Chemical approaches. A novel method has been developed by green route to synthesise Cobalt nano particles through plant extract. In the present study the aqueous extract of the powdered peels of Zingiber officinale (ZO) acted both as reducing and capping agent to synthesise the Cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs). The new route is eco-friendly, cost effective and natural way to synthesise nanoparticles. The synthesised CoNPs was characterised using Ultra Violet Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and by scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) technique. The newly synthesised CoNPs was tested for its antimicrobial activities and results showed that it had great potential as antimicrobial agent.
