Preparation and characterisation of ceramic electroactive materials for Na-ion batteries
Vaněk, Martin ; Libich, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Ondřej (advisor)
Hlavním cílem této práce je charakterizace vzorků titanátů, jako materiálů pro sodíko-iontové (Na-ion) akumulátory. Syntéza některých vzorků je součástí této práce. Charakterizace je zaměřena na elektrochemické vlastnosti, složení a morfologii použitých materiálů. První část se zabývá lithium-iontovými (Li-ion) akumulátory. Byly vybrány, protože jsou ve vědeckých článcích dobře popsány a základní funkční princip je aplikovatelný také na Na-ion akumulátory. Materiály používáné pro katody, anody a elektrolyty následují po krátké části shrnující parametry a konstrukci Li-ion akumulátorů. Následující kapitola je zaměřena na sodíko-iontové akumulátory. Srovnání sodíku a lithia je následováno materiály používanými pro elektrody a elektrolyty (s důrazem na anodové materiály). Třetí část popisuje analytické metody použité pro charakterizaci elektrod a materiálů. Jedná se o elektrochemickou charakterizaci (cyklická voltametrie a galvanostatické cyklování s potenciálovým omezením), morfologii (rastrovací elektronová mikroskopie) a složení (X-ray difrakční spektroskopie). Poslední dvě kapitoly obsahují syntézu a charakterizaci sodného titanátu a charakterizaci dvou vzorků TiO2. Výsledky této práce jsou shrnuty v závěru.

Investigation of intercalation of alkaline metals in electrochromic devices
Kortyš, Petr ; Špičák, Petr (referee) ; Svoboda, Vít (advisor)
This work deals with investigation of intercalation of alkaline metals in electrochromic devices by the help of the quartz crystal microbalance method. The general aim is to investigate the influence of molar mass and resistance on properties of vanadium pentoxide and tungsten trioxide electrochromic films. The main measuring method used for investigating of interacalation of sodium and lithium ions into these films is the cyclic voltammetry. Drawn graphs reveals that sodium and lithium ions shows different qualities during intercalation, particularly in participation of solvent, therefore, in the influence of molar mass and in structural changes in the films.

Jirák, Tibor ; Kadlec, Jaromír (referee) ; Paidar,, Martin (referee) ; Vondrák, Jiří (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with electrode materials and components for lithium-ion power sources. The thesis works with two different kinds of materials, concretely nanostructured Li4Ti5O12 with spinel basis and LiCoO2 with layered structure. The electrochemical properties, structure and element analysis and utilization possibilities in electrochemical industry of new technological electrode material Li4Ti5O12 were investigated. The influences of admixtures and electrolytes on characteristics of electrode materials with aforesaid active masses were also examined. Low cost price, environmental safety and obtained results of electrochemical measurements and structure analysis refer to wide possibilities of usage electrode material Li4Ti5O12 in the field of electrochemistry.

Impact of technological parameters on electrochemical properties of negative electrode in lithium-ion battery
Živčic, Samuel ; Máca, Josef (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of li-ion batteries and consists of two main parts. The first part of the thesis deals with a theory. It describes the functionality of electrochemical cells, especially li-ion cells. Operational principle of the cell is discussed, with the main focus given on negative electrode (anode) and the material it consists of, the natural graphite, mainly his electrochemical properties. Last chapter of theory describes expected impact of technological parameters on electrochemical properties of negative electrode. The second part of the thesis is the practical part. First, it describes procedure of making electrodes in laboratory and afterwards it provides an explanation of used measuring methods, steps taken during the measurement, and the results of the measurements. At the end of the thesis, the influence of pressure and layer thickness on electrochemical properties of natural graphite and on capacitive and current characteristics of negative electrode is evaluated.

Electrode materials and electrolytes for aluminium-ion accumulators
Benešová, Petra ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Čech, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor thesis presents a topic of aluminum-ion batteries, which have recently attracted great attention owing to their good electrochemical performance and possible use in commercially produced electronics. The paper introduces the basic principles of the function of aluminum-ion accumulators and their advantages, which are a main motivation for further research. The main feature of the theoretical part is an overview of the current state of research on suitable electrode materials and electrolytes for this type of accumulators. The experimental part is focused on the preparation of several carbon-based cathode materials, preparation of the IL-type electrolyte and subsequent cell assembly. The obtained results are evaluated and briefly discussed, taking into account the effects of the cell components and other factors.
