Metallic Nickel and oxide nanocomposite have been developed by Sol-Gel process modified by the use of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) as a matrix for the growth of the nanocomposites. The oxides precursors were nitrates from their own metal. Three types of oxides were synthetized, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide and zinc oxide. This work is presented in four sections: literature survey, development and characterization of nanocomposites and the use of nanocomposites as catalysts in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes. The development of these nanocomposites was motivated by the need for materials with controllable size and structure for use as catalysts in industry. The synthesis of the nanocomposites used a ratio of PVA / water of 1/12 that was later varied to evaluate the influence of the force of hydrolysis, the relationship between the matrix oxide metal and metallic nickel was 9:1 in mass percentage. The influence of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the ammonium hydroxide was also evaluated in the nanocomposites synthesis. The nanocomposites synthesized in this work were tested as catalysts in the growth of carbon nanotubes by the technique of High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). The catalysts used had a crystallite size of approximately 11nm in the case of magnesium oxide and 5 nm in the case of aluminum oxide, metallic nickel formed on these supports was well dispersed with a size of 3nm. Single layer and multiple layer carbon nanotubes were obtained only when magnesium oxide was the nickel substrate. The nanotubes were characterized by Raman and scanning electron microscopy.
