Now, the school embraces four departments and one Center, which are Department of Chemistry, Department of Chemical Physics, Department of Materials Sciences and Engineering, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering and Chemical Experimental Teaching Center. The school has 133 faculties, including 4 academician of CAS (Qingshi Zhu, Yitai Qian, Qi Wu, Yi Xie), 7 Cheung Kong Scholars of Ministry of Education (MOE), 21 winners of National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, 25 enlisted scientists for “Hundred Talents Program” of CAS, 22 enlisted State class scientists for “New Century Millions Talents Project”, 21 enlisted scientists for “New Century Excellent Talents in University”, and 91 full professors. Some professors have built up certain international influence, and serve as vice editor-in-chief and editors of international notable academic journals, such as Macromolecules, Nano Research, Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, Dalton Transactions, Langmuir, and so on. 

Currently, the School embraces five key laboratories, three key laboratories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), two key laboratories of Anhui province. They are CAS Key Laboratory of Materials for Energy Conversion, CAS Key Laboratory of Soft Matter Chemistry, CAS Key Laboratory of Urban Pollutant Conversion; Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Materials, Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Biomass Clean Energy. Moreover, Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale and National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory support for the academic research of the school. The school comprises chemistry and materials science two disciplines and ten sub-disciplines, i.e. Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry (including Chemical Physics), Applied Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry and Physics, Renewable and Clean Energy, Materials Physics and Chemistry, Materials Science, and Materials Processing Engineering, in which Physical Chemistry (including Chemical Physics), Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry are State key subjects.

The school takes an active part in major programs of national basic scientific research and subjects’ development. She has taken on lots of research projects, such as NSFC projects, “863” programs of Ministry of Science and Technology, “973” programs, National Key Technology R&D Programs, “211” projects and “985” projects of MOE, Knowledge Innovation Projects of CAS, with more than 40 million RMB yuan research funding annually. Up to now, she has received 15 research awards above provincial or ministry level, including 2 State Natural Science Award (second prize), 1 Natural Science Award of CAS (first prize), and 2 Natural Science Awards of MOE (first prize and second prize). She publishes many papers in high-level international academic journals annually with a steady increase every year.
