Ordered Matter Science Research Center was established in 2018, which is an independent research institution at Nanchang University. Its research fields cover multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and materials. The Center is committed to the research of molecular ferroelectric functional materials, developing "ferroelectrochemistry" to guide the chemical design of molecular ferroelectrics, studying the ferroelectric-related properties of molecular ferroelectrics and revealing the mechanism, and exploring the application of molecular ferroelectrics.

Ordered Matter Science Research Center has a spacious laboratory, covering 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, variable-temperature single crystal diffractometer, NMR, variable-temperature powder diffractometer, PFM, Raman spectrometer, ferroelectric test system, piezometer, dielectric tester, GC-MS, GPC, variable-temperature SHG, fluorescence spectrophotometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, VCD, CD, vacuum coating machine, nano-indentor, and white light laser confocal microscope.

Since the establishment of Ordered Matter Science Research Center, the research team, focusing on ferroelectrochemistry, has published over 60 high-level papers in internationally renowned journals, including Science, 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 second prize of the 2023 State Natural Science Award and the first prize of the 2022 Natural Science Award by the Ministry of Education. The research team has also received more than 20 research projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

At present, the whole faculties of Ordered Matter Science Research Center are dedicating themselves to the research of molecular ferroelectric materials, with a spirit of seizing every moment to break through the bottleneck of molecular ferroelectric materials in devices and applications, for realizing the industrial application of molecular ferroelectric materials in important technological fields such as information storage, intelligent sensing, energy conversion, and micro-actuator.
