Optimalization of MEA structure for low temperature fuel cells
Chladil, Ladislav ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Barath, Peter (advisor)
This master’s thesis focuses on optimization of electrode configuration in combination with a polymer membrane (MEA - Membrane Electrode Assembly) in terms of material and technology. The main goal was to create a functional measurement of MEA structures with three different types of carbon materials. The theoretical part focuses on the physical and chemical properties of low-temperature fuel cells with polymer membrane. The experimental section describes the manufacture of catalytic materials with different types of carbon and various contents platinum. Produced by electrode materials were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The next step was to manufacture MEA structures and characteristics of VA measurement using a digitally controlled load in the experimental fuel cell Quintech.

Low temperature Fuel Cells
Kazda, Tomáš ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Barath, Peter (advisor)
The Bachelor’s thesis is aimed at the low-temperature fuel cells and their usage in cars and mobile applications. In the theory part of this project is described the evolution of the fuel cells in last years and historically as well. Further there are described their functions and particular kinds of the fuel cells with aim at low-temperature cells. In the practical part of this thesis we were making different kinds of carbon mixtures. We have been doing measurements of mixtures on rotate disk electrode and in the experimental fuel cell. At the end of the work are experimentally evaluated different types of carbon materials with different contents of platinum depositing. The results are evaluated using electro analytical methods, using this evaluation to optimize the composition of the material used as electrode material in fuel cells.

Low temperature fuel cells
Skibik, Petr ; Barath, Peter (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work deals with making of catalyst materials with used nickel and commercial carbons that is appropriate for using in low temperature H2-O2 fuel cell. This thesis is described the methods of preparation electrode materials, its consistence and making electrode for the measure. This thesis is compared catalyst activity of nickel materials with platinum materials and poor commercial carbons. The samples were measured by voltammetric method by potentiostat Autolab with used the software GPES and the software FRA for impedance spectroscopy.

Low Temperature Fuel Cells H2-O2 with Anionic and Bipolar Membrane
Barath, Peter ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The doctoral thesis deals with investigation of the catalysts and ionexchanege membranes for fuel cells H2-O2. The work contains the basic principles of chemical reactions, thermodynamic aspects and kinetic properties in PEM fuel cells.Ion-exchagers based on fluorinated polymer sulfonic acids known as NAFION are used in most cases. These compounds are very expensive. Also a strong corrosive attribute requires platinum as a catalysator. These facts make the membrane fuel cells fully non-competetive with e.g. internal combustion engine in spite of all ecological advantages of this electrical power source. The subject of doctoral thesis is research and development of compounds for the composite electrode materials base on NiOx, Ni-Pd and Raney Ni suitable as catalysts a nd alkaline or bipolar ionexchange membranes for electrochemical fuel cells.

Model of Bulk Energy Accumulation
Radil, Lukáš ; Barath, Peter (referee) ; Gregor, Jan (advisor)
The purpose of this pursuit is to introduce the reader about the questions of the accumulation of the electric energy and to outline possibilities of its design and what instruments is possible to get it. The other purpose is to inscribe possibilities of today´s attachment of dispersive sources to the net from the sight of the ERU, eventually from the sight of the UCTE. This persuit describes the posibility of the accumulation of adequate dimensions from renewable resources, the modern trends in this area and the prediction of future progress. The two most proper types of the energy accumulation are chosen by the following process with regarding to the optimal resolution of the given questions. The general balance will be ana-lysed by the comparison of their basic parameters. The other point of this pursuit is to try to realize a small model of the accumulation through the hydrogen´s cycle, it comes to that we can develop the efficiency and influence by the help of the electrolyzer and the metalhydride reservoir is realized energy of accumulation . In the conclusion of this pursuit is the appreciation of the whole project with the view of partly economical and especially with the view of the prospective usage into the electric grid
