This research article describes zinc sulfate-supported cobalt oxide nanoparticles synthesized by microwave irradiation techniques. The prepared were further characterized using powder x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. diffraction studies the result show good crystalline nature of sample. spectrum shows vibration metal–oxygen functional groups. presence zing doped was confirmed UV-Visible as sulfate supported Co3O4 analyzed for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, antifungal (Aspergillus niger). exhibited a promising biomedical application.
