Supported nanostructured Pd catalyst using atomic layer deposition: from methanol oxidation to hydrogen evolution reaction
Bawab, Bilal ; Knez, Mato (referee) ; Nielsch, Kornelius (referee) ; Macák, Jan (advisor)
V této práci byly zkoumány katalytické schopnosti druhů Pd deponovaných metodou Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) na různých substrátech. Druhy Pd složené z nanočástic (NP) a jednotlivých atomů (SA) byly syntetizovány na vrstvách anodických nanotrubiček TiO2 (TNT) a uhlíkových papírech, aby se prozkoumalo jejich chování při elektrooxidaci methanolu a reakci vývoje alkalického vodíku (HER). Pd NP byly naneseny na vrstvy TNT jako katalyzátor oxidace methanolu, čímž se využil jejich velký povrch a přímý elektrický kontakt přes titanovou fólii. TEM analýza ukázala velikosti částic Pd mezi 7 a 12 nm, s posunem k tvorbě porézní vrstvy Pd po 450 cyklech ALD. Cyklická voltametrie odhalila, že katalytická aktivita dosáhla vrcholu po 400 a 450 cyklech, což ukazuje na optimální zatížení Pd a vlastnosti proti otravě, což potenciálně umožňuje přímou konverzi CH3OH na CO2. Další role Pd dosáhla přítomností SA a NP. Druhy Pd byly dekorovány na uhlíkových papírech a byly studovány jako HER katalyzátor. vzorky před a po elektrochemických měřeních byly charakterizovány rentgenovou fotoelektronovou spektroskopií potvrzující přítomnost druhů Pd2+. Elektrochemicky aktivní povrchová plocha se významně zvýšila s cykly ALD a dosáhla plató při 300c Pd. Pozoruhodné je, že CP 600c Pd vykazoval nadměrný potenciál 4,55 mV, což je nejnižší hodnota udávaná pro Pd elektrokatalyzátory v alkalických podmínkách. To zdůrazňuje synergické účinky Pd konfigurací na zesílení HER a zkoumá mechanismus, kterým dochází k HER procesu.

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.

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.

Cogeneration units for family houses
Pekárek, Michal ; Toman, Filip (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The scope of this bachelor’s thesis is basic design cogeneration unit in family house. The work is divided into three parts. The first part includes a summary of suitable cogeneration units. For each technology is mentioned short description with advantages and disadvantages. Based on this information was made a conclusion, that the most suitable microcogeneration units are with combustion engine, Stirling engine and fuel cells. This section focuses on legal requirements, which are connected with the application in family houses. The last section deals with the application in a specific family house. Heat loss of family house is 12,4 kW, amount of heat we have to provide for heating and warm water is 41,7 MWh and during the year was used 3,15 MWh of electricity. We have decided to design three different variations, all traffic-related cost and revenues are calculated for each design. In conclusion, they are compared with original state of energy supply to the family house.

Modelling of Air Supply by Compressor for Fuel Cell
Tkach, Svitlana ; Kudláček, Petr (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
The growing demand for freight transport and the long-term trend towards low-emission on-road trucks are driving a lot of attention towards fuel cell technology. Nowadays, computer simulations can be used to analyse complex fuel cell processes, which facilitates the time and cost of development. In this thesis, a computational model of a fuel cell system with a focus on air supply analysis is presented. An improvement in the performance characteristics of the air supply system, and therefore the fuel cell, can be achieved by using a compressor. Based on the initial design, an analysis of the influence of the compressor parameters at the design point on its power input is performed. An increase in compressor speed and isentropic efficiency at the design point led to a decrease in the required power input, while an increase in the pressure ratio at the design point led to an increase. As the result of the diploma thesis, an efficient tool for achieving optimal parameters of the fuel cell air supply system while minimizing the compressor input power is presented.
