The Department of Energy Materials Engineering, which originated from the Major of Material Physics, was established in 2005. The department now has 28 faculty members, including 6 professors and 9 associated professors, with 82% Ph.D. holders. The “Materials Physics Elite Class” was established with the assistance of the University of Chinese Academy of Science (UCAS, Chongqing), as well as the first-rate major of Chongqing of Material Physics was certificated in 2019. In 2021, it was approved as professional master's degree authorization organization of physics discipline. In 2025, the major of New Energy Materials and Devices had been officially registered. A provincial science and education platform, and two graduate tutor teaching teams of Chongqing had also been approved. The undergraduate education program of this major now mainly focus on energy materials. cooperating companies in the field of energy materials, e.g., State power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) of Chongqing, SGS New Energy Techology Co., LTD., etc. The research interests of the Major cover the theories and application of high-performance new energy materials, intelligent sensing materials, fire-retardant functional materials, luminous functional materials, etc.
