The chemistry discipline supported by the School of Chemistry maintains a ranking in the top 1 ‰ of ESI global rankings (the chemistry discipline entered the top 1 ‰ of ESI global rankings for the first time in March 2018, and rose to 44th place in ESI global rankings in March 2024). The college takes the lead in building a State Key Laboratory of effective utilization of chemical resources, and has established provincial and ministerial scientific research bases such as the basic research laboratory of assessment and accident identification of new hazardous chemicals, the Beijing key laboratory of analysis of environmental hazardous chemicals, the Beijing Engineering Technology Center of multi-level structural catalytic materials, and national teaching bases such as the chemical teaching base of basic engineering courses, the chemical experiment teaching demonstration center. We have the Ministry of Education's Top notch Chemical Talents Training Program Base 2.0, the Beijing International Science and Technology Cooperation Base for Supramolecular Intercalation Assembly Materials, the Discipline Innovation and Talent Introduction Base 2.0 for Assembly Chemistry of Intercalated Molecular Materials, and the Beijing Science Popularization Base.

The School of Chemistry has a team of young and middle-aged academic leaders with deep academic achievements and innovative spirit, consisting of academicians, Changjiang Scholars, and national outstanding youth as the core, and has a strong faculty. As of March 2024, there are 175 faculty and staff members Among them, there is one academician of the CAS Member, four distinguished professors of the Yangtze Scholars Award Program of the Ministry of Education, six winners of the National Outstanding Young Scholars Fund, one famous teacher of the Ten Thousand Talents Program, two national famous teachers of teaching, one person of the National Hundred Thousand Talents Project, three leading talents of scientific and technological innovation of the Ten Thousand Talents Program, three leading talents of national young and middle-aged scientific and technological innovation, one national model teacher, one winner of the China Young Female Scientist Award, five young Yangtze Scholars of the Yangtze Scholars Award Program of the Ministry of Education, seven winners of the National Science Fund for Outstanding Young Scholars, three young talents of the Ten Thousand Talents Program of the Central Organization Department, three young top talents of the National QRQR 2 people from the Youth Program , 8 Beijing famous teachers (including 1 Beijing famous young teacher), 12 people from the Ministry of Education's New Century Excellent Talents Support Program  There are 13 talents in the Beijing New Star Plan. We have established one National Natural Science Foundation of China Innovation Research Group, two Ministry of Education Changjiang Scholars Innovation Teams, one of the first national level teaching teams, and three excellent teaching teams in Beijing.

The college supports scientific research platforms such as one State Key Laboratory (State Key Laboratory for effective utilization of chemical resources), two provincial and ministerial key laboratories (basic research laboratory for new hazardous chemicals assessment and accident identification and Beijing key laboratory for analysis of environmental hazardous chemicals), one provincial and ministerial engineering technology research center (Beijing multi-level structural catalytic materials engineering technology center) and one Beijing science popularization base. It has a laboratory for joining the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Union and a base for introducing innovative talents in higher education disciplines.

The college has strong educational strength, significant teaching and research achievements, and has won 1 national science and technology progress award, 2 national science and technology invention awards, 1 first prize and 5 second prizes for national education and teaching achievements. It has 7 national quality courses and 6 national resource sharing courses. The research fields involve intercalation chemistry, inorganic functional materials, catalytic science and technology, modern analytical testing technology, special coatings, applied electrochemistry, synthesis and preparation of drug intermediate chemistry, interface chemistry and application technology, water treatment technology and chemical agents, inorganic materials chemistry, organic fine synthesis, chemical biology, energy chemistry, etc. In the past five years, we have undertaken more than 150 national level scientific research projects, including the National Key Research and Development Program, National Science and Technology Major Projects, Major Instrument Projects, and National Natural Science Foundation. We have received over 170 million yuan in funding for vertical scientific research and 140 million yuan in funding for horizontal projects; Published over 2000 academic papers in mainstream chemistry journals both domestically and internationally; Applied for over 700 international and national invention patents, of which over 430 were authorized; Led and participated in the development of over 20 industry and group standards. We have established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with leading domestic and foreign enterprises such as Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, Sinochem Group, Western Mining, and Saudi Aramco, and have implemented the transformation and application of a number of scientific research achievements.

The college continues to expand international exchanges and has established good cooperative relationships with well-known universities or research institutions in countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc. under the principle of equality, promoting the improvement of scientific research and academic level.
