The synthesis of the FeO-CuO-CuFeO nanocomposite was effectively achieved through the sol-gel technique, utilizing ethanol as a reactive fuel. Investigation of the nanocomposite's structure via X-ray Diffraction confirmed the coexistence of FeO, CuO, and CuFeO phases within the material. The Scherrer equation was applied to determine an average crystallite size ranging from 60 to 95 nm.

The physical properties of the prepared products were examined using SEM, XRD, and UV-visible. The XRD data indicated the formation of pure CuO, FeO and MgO NPs, as well as nanocomposite formation with FeO (cubic), MgO (cubic), and CuO (monoclinic).
