Design and testing of XRD holder for post-mortem analysis of li-ion battery electrodes performed in an inert atmosphere
Klvač, Ondřej ; Chladil, Ladislav (referee) ; Čech, Ondřej (advisor)
The work describes the design and manufacturing of a test device for post-mortem measurements of electrodes of electrochemical cells using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The theoretical part describes the diffractometer Rigaku Miniflex 600, for which the product is intended. At the same time, an overview of solutions in various applications is processed here in the form of a recherche. The practical part documents the current development of a new cell, on which tests were performed. Here is an overview of the influence of gases and insulating materials on the resulting data, especially distortion and attenuation. Subsequently, a new design with improved hermetic insulation and sample displacement error correction is described. The principle of operation of the manufactured cell, including the control unit and software, is elaborated in the form of technical documentation. Finally, the functionality is verified by comparing the diffractograms of the powder standards and the graphite electrodes.

Study of active mass volume changes of lead acid battery electrodes
Nevoral, Miroslav ; Vaněk, Jiří (referee) ; Křivík, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with detailed study of influence of thurst on attributes of positive and negative electrode masses of lead acid battery electrodes with main accent on explanation of measured characteristics. Three kinds of electrode systems were put together and measured. Measured characteristics of changes of thurst power were recalculated during charging and discharging to changes of total thickness of system.

The influence of iron on nickel accumulator charging
Mičák, Tomáš ; Čech, Ondřej (referee) ; Pléha, David (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is dealing with a problematics of iron influence on charging of accumulator, more precisely on its cathode. The theory describes comparision of an accumulators at our market, important properties of Ni-Cd accumulators, their function principle, events happening during charge-discharge cycles of Ni-Cd cells and measuring method that will be used to verify of the iron influence. The practical part deals with the influence of iron on the development of oxygen during process of battery charging, on how iron affects the potential shift of oxygen gassing and how temperature affects this event.

New electrode structures for alkaline accumulators
Fusek, Petr ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Vrbický, Jiří (advisor)
Master´s thesis is focused on development of electrodes used in alcaline accumulators, by using new kinds of materials and compounds. Basic possitive eletrode was made of nickel, on this electrode were applied new layers of Ni(OH)2 by using the method called electrodeposition. For electrodeposition was used solution with Ni(NO3)2 in diverse concentrations. Later on, this material was enriched with aluminium admixtures to increase stability of alfa modification in Ni(OH)2. These concentrations were measured and analysed in diagrams. For measurement was used device Biologic. The diagrams were commented with recommendations for production use in accumulators.

Study of fuel cells
Kamrla, David ; Svoboda, Vít (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis offers a look into the issues of hydrogen fuel cells and is focused on low-temperature alkaline fuel cells (AFC). The primary aim is creation of the manufacturing process of the AFC electrodes, followed by the verification of these procedures by using them in experimental measurement. Further on, another possible options of the usage of various catalyzers and processes of AFC electrodes are presented. These options are evaluated and compared by experimental use of various pairs cathode – anode, with measured characteristics of the make-shift fuel cell being the outcome.
