In the field of carbon nanotubes synthesis, widely studied for the moment, the one-step sol-gel method is examined as a way to prepare bimetallic catalysts leading to a high productivity in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). For example, Su et al. [145] prepared a Fe-Mo/AljOj aerogel (dried in supercritical COj) and Mehn et al. [133] prepared a Fe-Mo/AljOj cryogel (freeze-dried) both with a good activity in SWNTs synthesis.
