Abstract	Abstract Graphene acts as an excellent supporting material in the preparation of a variety of nanocomposites. In this study, thick sheets of graphene of differing nanometer sizes were prepared using the modified Hummer's method. CuCe 0.2 Fe 1.8 O 4 ferrite nanoparticles were fabricated using the facile co-precipitation technique. Subsequently, the hydrothermal method was employed for the fabrication of graphene-based CuCe 0.2 Fe 1.8 O 4 nanocomposites. We investigated the crystal structure, functional groups, thermal stability, morphology, and magnetic properties of CuFe 2 O 4 , CuCe 0.2 Fe 1.8 O 4 ferrite nanoparticles, and graphene-based CuCe 0.2 Fe 1.8 O 4 nanocomposites. Graphene was found to have distinct effects on the surface morphology, crystallite size, lattice strain, and thermal stability of the CuCe 0.2 Fe 1.8 O 4 nanocomposites. The average crystallite size and grain size were found to increase, whereas the lattice strain decreased, with the use of graphene and increased Ce 3+ content. The Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) results indicated that the saturation magnetization and coercivity were in the range of 11–30 emu/g and 690–1044 Oe, respectively. The direct effects of graphene on morphology, crystal structure, and thermal stability, as well as the improved magnetic properties, demonstrate that these nanoparticles and nanocomposites may be suitable for switching, electromagnetic wave absorbers, adsorbents, and catalytic applications.
