Title: Controllable synthesis, treatment and characterization of anodes for Direct Formic Acid Fuell Cell Author: Mgr. Igor Bieloshapka Department/Institute: Department of Surface and Plasma Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Ing. Petr Jiříček, CSc., Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Division of Solid State Physics, Department of Optical Materials Abstract: At this doctoral thesis, anodes were prepared by novel DC magnetron sputtering technique for direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs). Anode part consisted of support material and catalyst. Carbon cloth and polyaniline were used as a support. Palladium and palladium-copper bimetallic catalysts were deposited on the top of the support. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used for investigation of the morphology of the anodes. Composition and chemical states on the anode part were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) together with the XPS technique were used for characterizing graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a promising support for the polymer membrane fuel cells. For decreasing the role of substoichiometric PdCx phase and other contaminations on the surface of...
