Azerbaijan National Academy of Science

The Higher Attestation Commission of ANAS Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry awarded Associate Professor Dunya Babanli the diploma a doctor of chemical sciences.

Let us note that, Dunya Babanly is the youngest female chemist, who received her doctorate in chemical sciences in Azerbaijan.

Dunya Muhammad gizi Babanli was born on December 6, 1983 in Baku, in a family of intellectuals. In 2003 she graduated with honors from the bachelor's degree of the chemical faculty of the Baku State University, in 2005 - the master's degree in the specialty "Physical chemistry".

In 2006, as a junior researcher at the Laboratory of Electronics of Metals and Alloys of the Institute of Chemical Problems of ANAS, scientist defended her Ph.D thesis on "Physico-chemical regularities of interaction in Tl-TlHal-X systems (Hal-Cl, Br; X-Se, Te)". In 2009-2016 she worked as a research assistant, senior researcher at the Laboratory of Nanoelectrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of the Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry. And since 2016, she holds the position of a leading researcher at the same institute.

The scientists studied phase equilibria in some quasi-ternary systems containing the compounds Tl5X2Hal, Tl6XHal4 (X-Se, Te; Hal-Cl, Br, I), BiXI. New non-stoichiometric phases in the investigated systems are revealed, their areas of homogeneity and primary crystallization are determined. Some crystallographic and thermodynamic properties of the detected non-stoichiometric phases have also been studied. On the basis of the data obtained, methods have been developed for the directional synthesis and production of single crystals of new phases. This process was carried out for various optimal compositions.

In 2013, she won the grant competition on "Fundamental and Applied Scientific Research Projects", announced by the Foundation for the Development of Science under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In 2015 she was awarded the "Academician Murtuza Nagieva Prize" of the Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry.

In 2015 she received the academic title of Associate Professor.

The young scientist is the author of about 140 scientific works. According to the information system "Google Scholar Citations", about 40 scientific works were included in the international electronic systems "Elsevier", "Springer" and "Tomson Reuters".
