 Project introduction: The research and test platform for molecular materials and devices will address significant scientific challenges in cutting-edge interdisciplinary fields of molecular science and applied basic research. This platform will establish a world-class research and test facility for molecular materials and devices, focusing on the characterisation of the aggregate state structure of conjugated molecular systems, chemical imaging of surfaces and interfaces, and the construction and functional testing of molecular devices.

The overarching objective of this construction project is to develop a platform that aligns with the core scientific objectives of the Beijing Huairou Comprehensive National Science Centre and supports the city's urban planning. The goal is to establish a national laboratory for material sciences.

Upon completion, the platform will attract and gather top talents in the field of molecular materials and devices research, achieving a number of original results and several major breakthroughs in key areas such as high-mobility organic semiconductor materials and devices, organic photovoltaic materials and devices, organic photonics, and bioelectronics. The platform will facilitate the integration of disciplines such as chemistry and materials, energy, information, and life, cultivating strategic emerging industries that serve the country's major strategic needs.

This platform is designed to address the key factors that determine the properties of molecular materials and devices. These factors include the molecular aggregation state structure and the interface structure between molecular materials and devices. The platform will establish three sub-platforms that are functionally complementary. These are molecular aggregation state structure characterisation, interface structure characterisation between molecular materials and devices, and functional tests of molecular materials and devices.
