General Information
Having its origin in South Manchuria Railway's research department, which later became the Central Research Centre, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics was thus named in 1961 and moved its location from 129 Street (at Zhongshan Road) to the current address in 1995.
Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics is one of the leading research institutes in China. In the past half century, the institute has become internationally recognised for its research in catalytic chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical laser and molecular reaction dynamics, organic synthesis and chromatography for modern analytic chemistry and biotechnology.
The institute houses one national laboratory, two state key laboratories, and five national engineering research centres. The Dalian National Lab of Clean Energy (DNL) is the first national laboratory in the field of energy research and integrates laboratories across DICP and other institutions. DNL is subdivided into 10 divisions and its research is focused on the efficient conversion and optimal utilisation of fossil energy, clean energy conversion technologies and the economically viable use of solar and biomass energy. DICP’s other main laboratories include the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Analytical Chemistry, the Laboratory of Fine Chemicals, the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis, the Laboratory of Chemical Lasers, the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction Dynamics, the Laboratory of Aerospace Catalysis and New Materials, and the Laboratory of Biotechnology.
