The School currently hosts several provincial and ministerial research platforms, including the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Functional Soft Condensed Matter, the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission's Engineering Laboratory for New Energy Materials and Devices, the Guangdong Province International Cooperation Base for Micro-Control Technology and Applications Oriented to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Low-Dimensional Materials and Energy Storage Devices, the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Photoresists and Advanced Packaging, the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Advanced Metallic Materials and Forming Processing, the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Polymer Green Manufacturing and Functional Membrane Materials, and the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage Batteries and Solar Conversion and Storage Materials. It possesses dozens of high-end instruments and equipment, such as transmission electron microscopes, field emission scanning electron microscopes, high-temperature fatigue testing machines with scanning electron microscopes, lithium-ion battery/supercapacitor experimental lines, confocal micro-laser Raman spectrometers, battery performance and lifespan testing platforms, high-performance supercomputer clusters, solid oxide fuel cell testing systems, modular rheometer workstations, high-vacuum organic/metal coating equipment, in-situ analytical X-ray diffractometers, laser confocal total internal reflection fluorescence microscopes, and integrated testing systems for micro-nano devices. The total assets of these instruments and equipment amount to approximately RMB 222 million.

In the past five years, the School has received one First Prize and four Second Prizes for Scientific and Technological Progress in Guangdong Province. It has secured funding for 170 vertical projects, including leading one National Key Research and Development Program, two key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), two jointly funded key projects of the NSFC, and two National Excellent Young Scientist Fund projects. Additionally, the School has received funding for 387 horizontal projects and published 1,998 SCI papers in journals such as Nature Nanotechnology, Chemical Society Reviews, and Advanced Materials, with approximately 1,500 papers in the top two quartiles. The number of ESI highly cited papers has increased to 86, including one hot paper. The School has also been granted 464 Chinese invention patents, 11 PCT patents, and 7 international invention patents.
