n this study, the sol-gel process has been adopted for the synthesis of Cu1-xAlxO nanostructures(0≤ x ≤ 0.90, in steps of 0.10). The system revealed pure CuO phase with monoclinic structure. Al2O3phase and copper oxide (Cu2O)were developed at higher substituent concentrations till x=0.40. Structural properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD)and morphological propertiesbyScanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Average crystallite size from the range of 12.65nm to 22.9nm was calculated by Scherer formula.The SEM images indicated that the Cu1-xAlxO possessed nanoparticles like structure, i.e. it contained some pores or voids and vacancies caused by a difference in experimental conditions. Results of EDX revealed the presence of Aluminum (Al), oxygen (O) and copper (Cu) elements in Cu1-xAlxO and the data showed that the nanoparticles were nearly stoichiometric
