                         synthesized by catalytic decomposition of an ethane/ hydrogen 
                         mixture over nickel and iron supported catalysts. The synthesis of 
                         the first silicon carbide (SiC)nanotubes was performed according 
                         to the shape memory synthesis (SMS)method. The benefit of using 
                         carbon and SiC nanotubes as catalyst supports was evidenced, 
                         respectively in the case of the selective C=C bond hydrogenation 
                         in the alpha,beta-unsaturated cinnamaldehyde and the low 
                         temperature selective oxidation of H2S into elemental sulfur 
                         (60ºC). Carbon nanotubes as support allowed to increase both 
                         cinnamaldehyde conversion and selectivity toward C=C bond 
                         hydrogenation. Supporting a nickel-based catalyst on SiC nanotubes 
                         allowed to increase both desulfurization activity of the catalyst 
                         and its solid sulfur storage capacity. The inner partial pressure 
                         concept, or confinement effect, was developed to explain the high 
                         performances of this new SiC-based catalyst. The last section is 
                         devoted to further objectives for developing such highly
