Research Directions：
X-Research division encourages innovative modes of research, exploring novel and even revolutionary methods and ideas, in relation to the energy chemistry related research. The research directions include prospective studies, which may yet to have consensus, but could become a future strategic highland. X- research encourages interdisciplinary major researches, which need to be cultivated or developed collaboratively with other research divisions. It encourages multiple interdisciplinary studies, crossing over the conventional boundaries of Chemistry, Physics, Life Science, Energy, Materials, and Environments, etc.
With the focuses on the development of chemistry for energy materials, X-research division adopts a more flexible employment system and policy, targeted to facilitate the organization and development of collaborative innovation research teams, enhance the capability of problem solving, and rapidly reorganize and integrate the teams according to the research needs and progress.
In 2016, X-research division focuses mainly on four directions: the discovery of some new functional materials; the breakthrough in reaction dynamics methods; the mechanisms of energy conversion in life science; and the cultivation of the prospective researches.

Research area:
(1) The discovery of new functional materials
(2) The breakthrough in reaction dynamics
(3) The mechanisms of energy conversion in life science
(4) The cultivation of the prospective researches
