A review on the research and development of electronic and optoelectronic materials in China, including the main scientific activities in this field, is presented. The state|of|the|arts and prospects of the electronic and optoelectronic materials in China are briefly introduced, such as those of silicon crystals, compound semiconductors, synthetic crystals,especially nonlinear optical crystals and rare|earth permanent magnets materials, etc., with a greater emphasis on Chinese scientist’s contributions to the frontier area of nanomaterials and nanostructures in the past few years. A new concept of the trip chemistry proposed by Dr.Liu Zhongfan from Peking University has also been described. Finally the possible research grants and the national policy to support the scientific research have been discussed.
