| Citation | Professor MacFarlane is distinguished for his contributions to the chemistry of ionic liquids, both fundamental and applied. He has introduced new types of ionic liquids and determined their properties. He has been particularly successful in discovering and exploiting examples of these liquids for applications in battery technology, fuel cells, and electrochemical energy storage devices. Among the important applications he has pioneered is the development of an energy-efficient process for fixing nitrogen using novel ionic liquids as a solvent. He has established a lively and diverse group of co-workers and encouraged the development of this field in Australia. |
