The dissertation is organized in 4 chapters. Chapter 1 highlights the motivations behind our research along with a general introduction on ceria and carbon catalysts. Chapter 2 reports the investigations on Copper-Ceria catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of fatty acids into fatty alcohols. Chapter 3 discusses the development of nitrogen containing mesoporous carbon. The chapter also reports the catalytic investigations for aldol condensation and nitrobenzene hydrogenation reactions. Finally, Chapter 4 is a general conclusion summarizing this dissertation.
