Nanometer copper ferrite, as a kind of nanometer particle with catalytic activity, and its photothermal and magnetothermal effects as ferrite, can be widely used in different fields. It is a general way to obtain the nano effect of the target by controlling the particle size. In this paper, the crystallization process of hydrothermal/solvothermal synthesis was analyzed, and the nucleation model was established to simulate the effects of solvent, reaction temperature and cooling time on the particle size of copper ferrite nanoparticles. Through Monte Carlo method and energy function, the ratio of nano particle agglomeration was established, and the influence of different reaction conditions on it was discussed.
