Study of elektrode materials based on manganese dioxide
Kos, Lukáš ; Dvořák, Petr (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This work deals with the production and use of catalytic materials in fuel cells. The basic focus of work is the production of samples of catalytic materials based on manganese dioxide-enriched mixtures of different dopants. Samples subsequently made to measure, compare with other samples and determine whether the samples are enriched with dopants better than samples without dopant. According to information received, then determine whether they are suitable for use in fuel cells.

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.

Hydrogen production from renewable energy source
Lakva, Petr ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
Hydrogen, as a form of storage for the excess energy from renewable sources, is a technically and economically viable option. However, the technology is not mature enough to compete with the other renewable energy possibilities. In this thesis, a study based on coupling two 330 kW wind-turbines with an NELP. 40 electrolyzer this connection should improve the utilization of wind power. In this thesis are two options of energy utilization. The energy produced by the wind-turbine is stored in the form, of hydrogen and is then delivered for consumption at variable power through a fuel cell, second option is use of produced hydrogen as alternative fuel for cars. This study is a general introduction for the wind energy system with hydrogen storage. Future studies should be more complex and detailed in order to understand and model the system with greater accuracy and to increase the possibility for the utilization of wind energy to generate hydrogen. This would enhance wind power competitiveness and sustain the continuously changing world energy demands.

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.

Alternative energy sources
Stránský, Jaroslav ; Moskalík, Jiří (referee) ; Škvařil, Jan (advisor)
In this work, I tried to summarize the current state of world energy resources that we use to convert into electrical energy. There is solved the question of compensation running short supplies of fossil fuels and reduce discharge of greenhouse gasses. I´m looking for suitable compensation in department of alternative energy sources, among which I included the power of the Sun, water, wind, geothermal energy, using heat pumps, combustion energy, nuclear energy, fuel cells and hydrogen use. About anyone of replacing sources you learn about its history, advantages and disadvantages, the principle of function energy transform devices, and compare the potential that is available in the CR and in the world.

Highly Loaded Carbon Black Supported Pt Catalysts for Fuel Cells
Kaluža, Luděk ; Zdražil, Miroslav ; Gulková, Daniela ; Vít, Zdeněk ; Šolcová, Olga ; Soukup, Karel ; Maixnerová, Lucie
The aim of this work was to elucidate on the methods of Pt deposition on carbon black to achieve high loadings of Pt of about 60 wt.% in highly dispersed form. The carbon black supports were characterized by nitrogen physisorption. Platinum was deposited on the supports: from true solutions of H2PtCl6, Pt(C5H7O2)2, Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2, or Pt(NH3)2(NO2)2, and from fine dispersions of Pt(C5H7O2)2, PtO2, Pt(NH3)4(OH)2. Atomic adsorption spectroscopy, AAS, and scanning electron microscopy, SEM, were used for elemental analysis and determination of Pt content. The deposited Pt species were dried, calcined or reduced and were subjected to temperature programmed reduction, TPR. After degassing at increased temperature, the Pt dispersion was determined by hydrogen chemisorption at -60 C.
