    : Conventional methods of nanoparticle synthesis often rely on the use of toxic chemicals, raising environmental concerns. This study shows the green synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoONPs) using extracts from Khaya Senegalensis (African mahogany) and Psidium guajava (guava) leaves. This plant extracts act as reducing and capping agents, removing the need for toxic chemicals. The research further investigates the possible application of these bio-synthesized CoONPs in soil bioremediation. The advantages of this method shows eco- friendly synthesis of nanoparticles, using plant extracts makes the process less toxic. The study would likely detail the characterization of the synthesized CoONPs using techniques such as UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to determine their size, morphology, and other properties. The bioremediation approach using cobalt oxide nanoparticles helps in degrading the pollutants present in the soil.
