Key Laboratory of Molecular Ferroelectrochemistry

Laboratory of Molecular Ferroelectrochemistry


Jiangxi Key Laboratory of Molecular Ferroelectrochemistry was established on the basis of the Ordered Matter Science Research Center. The Key Laboratory focuses on the development of ferroelectrochemistry, guiding the chemical design of high-performance molecular ferroelectric functional materials to provide an important material basis for applications in the technical fields such as information storage, sensors, actuators, and energy conversion and to realize the practical applications of molecular ferroelectrics.

The Ordered Matter Science Research Center, established in 2018, is an independent research institution at Nanchang University. It has a spacious laboratory that covers an area of more than 10,000 m2. The laboratories are equipped with first-rate instruments and facilities for the research of molecular ferroelectrics, such as professional synthesis laboratories, clean rooms, glove boxes, a variable-temperature single crystal diffractometer, NMR, a variable-temperature powder diffractometer, PFM, a Raman spectrometer, a ferroelectric test system, a piezometer, a dielectric tester, GC-MS, GPC, a variable-temperature SHG, a fluorescence spectrophotometer, a UV-vis spectrophotometer, VCDs, CDs, a vacuum coating machine, a nano-indentor, and a white light laser confocal microscope. Since the establishment of the Ordered Matter Science Research Center, the research team, focusing on ferroelectrochemistry, has published over 40 high-level papers in internationally renowned journals, which include Science (2 papers), PNAS, Adv. Mater., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Chem. Soc. Rev., and Trend Chem.. The project “Design of Molecular Piezoelectrics by Ferroelectrochemistry”, led by the research team, won the First Prize in Natural Science of the Ministry of Education of China. The research team has also received approval over 10 research projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
