In the present work, synthesis of CuO, ZnO and CuO/ZnO Nonocomposites and their properties have been investigated. CuO, ZnO and CuO/ZnO NC were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The nanocomposite materials were structural, morphological and optical properties characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis Spectroscopy. The results of the XRD analysis exhibited that the pure CuO, ZnO and CuO/ZnO NC has a nanometer size with an average of 15.19 nm. The UV-vis analysis showed that the CuO, ZnO and CuO/ZnO NC has a band-gap of 3.31 and 2.35 eV. FTIR investigation revealed that the vibration of ZnO was observed at 561 cm-1 whereas CuO was at 602 cm-1 and composites 612 cm-1. The FESEM-EDX analysis revealed that the ZnO has a hexagonal structure whereas the CuO has a monoclinic structure.
