Thick-film sensors for heavy metals detection
Gajdoš, Libor ; Majzlíková, Petra (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This project describes the possibilities of heavy metals detections in solutions using differential pulse voltammetry with tree-electrode electrochemical thick-film sensors. In the theoretical part, the thick-film technology is described as well as thick-film pastes’ types and compositions, followed by introduction to electrochemistry and electro-analytical methods of measurement. This project also describes the three measured heavy metals – cadmium, lead and copper. In the practical part, heavy metals’ ions detection in solutions using carbon working electrode and determination of the detection limit and sensitivity are described and discussed. Finally the evaluation of obtained results and results comparison to hygienic limits are included.

Application of voltammetry for simultaneous determination of selected microelements
Bruštík, David ; Komendová, Renata (referee) ; Řezáčová, Veronika (advisor)
This bachelor thesis concentrates on the optimization of conditions for voltammetric determination of selected microelements, specifically zinc, copper, cadmium and lead. The theoretical part describes the individual properties of selected elements and their toxicity, occurrence and important figures of concentration. The practicable methods suitable for the determination of these microelements are summarized and the voltammetric analysis is described in depth. The experimental section deals with the optimization of dissolution voltammetry conditions, the description of the method used and the analysis of selected real samples.

Electrochemical sensor for ascorbic acid detection
Hlavička, Michal ; Kynclová, Hana (referee) ; Majzlíková, Petra (advisor)
This work deals with electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid using screen-printed three-electrode sensors. The work is divided into three parts, where the first describes the theory of thick-film technology, including the types and compositions of the pastes, fabrication and firing. The second part deals with the methods, measurement principles and the electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid. Experiments were done using screen-printed carbon electrodes in a solution of phosphate buffer and ascorbic acid. In conclusion the results are evaluated.

Redox Properties of Conjugated Phosphole Derivatives – Electrochemical Study
Koláčná, Lucie ; Polák, P. ; Tobrman, T. ; Ludvík, Jiří
The study describes pentasubstituted phospholes with a π-conjugated arms in positions 2 and 5 of the phosphole ring. According to the expectations, substituents with electron-donating groups led to lower oxidation potentials, the presence of electron-withdrawing groups shifts the reduction potential to less negative values. Because all studied phospholes have multiple substituents of both types, their resulting potentials represent the sum of their influences. Moreover, since many of the studied compounds have two redox centers (phosphole moiety itself and the pi-conjugated arm), their locations were determined and intramolecular interactions were followed, because substituents which can be conjugated with the π-system of phosphole are able to extend the delocalized π-system resulting in stabilization of primary redox intermediates. Chemical modification of phospholes using various combinations of substituents can set the desired electrochemical properties of studied molecules.

Polarographic Determination of Genotoxic 2-Amino-9-fluorenone
Hájková, Andrea ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
of Bachaleor Thesis The aim to this work was to find the optimum conditions for polarographic determination of genotoxic 2-amino-9-fluorenone (2-AFN) that can negatively affect the living and working environment. Foremost, the stability of 2-AFN stock solution in methanol was monitored using UV-VIS spectrophotometry and an optimal ratio of buffered aqueous and methanolic phase was found out for following polarographic measurements at a classical mercury dropping electrode (DME). The dependence of polarographic behavior of 2-AFN (of concentration 1×10-4 mol dm-3 ) on pH of analyzed solution was measured using DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP) in the pH range 1.9 - 12.8, in the medium of Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer - methanol (9:1). The mechanism of polarographic reduction of electrochemically reducible oxo group at 2-AFN has been proposed on the basis of thus observed behavior. The optimum medium of BR buffer pH 4.0 - methanol (9:1) has been chosen for both polarographic techniques. The concentration range from 1×10-6 to 1×10-4 mol dm-3 was measured using DCTP at DME and from 1×10-7 to 1×10-4 mol dm-3 using DPP at DME. Reached limits of quantification (LQs) were 5×10-7 mol dm-3 and 1×10-7 mol dm-3 for DCTP at DME and DPP at DME, respectively. For comparison, the...
