Cobalt-doped iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by solution combustion technique. The structural and magnetic properties of the samples also investigated. average crystallite size cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticle was calculated using Scherrer equation, it found to be 16±5 nm. particle measured transmission electron microscope. This value match with equation corresponding prominent intensity peak (311) X-ray diffraction. high-resolution microscope image shows clear lattice fringes high crystallinity nanoparticles. synthesized exhibited saturation magnetization 47 emu/g coercivity 947 Oe. anti-microbial activity showed better results as an anti-bacterial agent. affinity constant determined for nanoparticles, cytotoxicity studies conducted at different concentrations are discussed.
