Firstly, I am deeply grateful to my PhD supervisor, Andrei KANAEV, Research director CNRS, head of group Inorganic Nanomaterials (NINO). He was a great and kind supervisor giving me good advices and ideas in research and teaching, especially, in writing scientific papers. Because of this, there are many articles issued of this PhD work. I also would like to thank my co-supervisor, professor Khay CHHOR, who introduced me in life in France since the beginning and accompanied during all these years. He transmitted me important knowledge concerning experiment and chemical synthesis, and helping in reduction and correction of this manuscript. Beside my supervisors, I want to thank Dominique VREL, Research director CNRS, who helped in interpretation of data of X-ray diffraction and structural analysis of the elaborated materials. I would like to thank professor Khalid Hassouni, Director of LSPM, for a permission to perform this study in laboratory. I thank professor Christophe Colbeau-Justin, professor Sophie Cassaignon and assistant professor Rabah AZOUANI for the acceptance to take part in PhD defense jury and evaluate this PhD work. My sincere thank also goes to the permanent members of NINO team, especially assistant professors Mamadou Traore, Mohamed Amamra, Mounir Ben Amar and professor Mehrdad Nikravech for providing me an intellectual assistance in course of this study. I would like to thank Valéri Bockelee for x-ray diffraction measurements, Ovidui BRINZA for transmission electron microscopy (TEM and EFTEM) measurements and Patrick Portes for specific surface area (BET) measurements and other permanent help. I thank computer and network administrator Greg Chalvignac and secretaries Chrystel Redon, Nathalie Duros and Sandrine Ouazan for a permanent assistance in course of my stay at LSPM. I want to thank my many friends, who colored my everyday’ life with fruitful human and scientific discussions and for much other: Easeng SIV (admission and repairing computer), Didier FANOU (admission and experimental collaboration), Sana LABIDI and Paola DIAZGOMEZ TREVINO (purchase of chemicals and materials). I will not forget other friends and PhD student: Mine ER, Sarah DINE, Benoit BAUDRILLART, Abdelkader RAHMANI, Annika PILLE, Khaled OUAHA, Zixian Jia and many others. Additionally, I would like to offer my special thank to international science programme (ISP) teams in both Sweden and Cambodia countries, especially Professor Peter SUNDIN and Dr. Sorya PROUM for the scholarship covering my living expenses in France. Last but not the least, I thank to family: my wife and my son, my parents and my brothers who have been waiting for me so long time.
