Conducting polymers and their use in supercapacitors
Gottwald, Tomáš ; Zatloukal, Miroslav (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This work deals with the issues of using conducting polymers for supercapacitor electrodes and optimizing the technological process for their production. The work focuses on optimizing the amount of polymer used in order to achieve the most capacity. The methodology consists of creating an appropriate experimental electrode and subsequent measuring its associated capacity with BioLogic. This approach leads to creating charts which show the dependencies of capacity on the amount of polymer used.

Preparation of 2D heterostructures
Ředina, Dalibor ; Hrabovský, Miloš (referee) ; Bartoš, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis refers about preparation of 2D hetestructures here at the IPE, BUT. The first theoretical part deals with properties of graphene, molybdenum disulfide and 2D heterostructures in general. Comprehensive overview is provided by basic facts about properties and allotropic modifications of carbon. Next part of this thesis outlines methods used in the fabrication of heterostructures and highlights presumably the best one. Experimental part deals with optimization of this method. Successive steps of this method are improved by various adjustments in order to achieve the highest success rate in the fabrication of these heterostructures. Result of this approach is stated in this thesis.

Sodium-ion batteries: research of carbon based negative electrode materials
Homolka, Tomáš ; Máca, Josef (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This work focuses on the research of hard carbon as a promising negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries. The first part deals with electrochemical cells and their development in general. Then lithium-ion cells, their history and the materials currently used are mentioned. The next section discusses sodium-ion cells, their development so far, current issues and differences compared to lithium-ion cells, as they appear to be one of the promising post-lithium technologies with the potential for rapid commercialization. In the practical part, properties of some material samples are tested with a focus on their capacity and coulombic efficiency.

Compatibility of negative electrode materials at system of lithium-ion battery
Šikuda, Milan ; Sedlaříková, Marie (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with a study of lithium-ion batteries. It is focused into negative electrode materials and electrolytes. In this thesis is presented synthesis, electrochemical properties, possibilities to improving negative electrode materials as LTO (Lithium Titanate Oxid) and graphite. These electrode materials were investigated with respect to their compatibility at electrolytes with carbonate solvents, Sulfolane and DMF (DiMethylFormamide) in detail. The main aim of this thesis is to characterize electrode materials and electrolyte properties depending on wide range of temperatures and their comparison for the purpose of achievement of the best solution. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The theoretical part of thesis describes composition, process of synthesis and analysis of lithium-ion cell. Practical part contains measuring and evaluating of charge-discharge and irreversible capacity characteristics related to variety of environmental temperatures.

Investigation of carbon effect in negative active mass on lead-acid accumulator for HEV.
Tonar, Karel ; Křivík, Petr (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
The lead-acid bateries for hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) working under high-rate partial-state-of-charge (HRPSoC) conditions. The negative plates of lead-acid batteries have low charge acceptance. The cycle life of the batteries is dependent on the rate accumulation of PbSO4 on the negative plates. Addition of some carbon or graphite forms to the negative paste mix improves the charge efficieny and slows down sulfation of the negative plates. The master’s thesis wants to explain the contribution of electrochemically active carbon (EAC) additives to the mechanis of the electrochemical reaction of charge of the negative plates.

Monitoring of Electrode Changes of Negative Electrode for Lead-Acid Batteries by Operando Confocal Microscopy
Hálová, Hana ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Chladil, Ladislav (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the laser microscopy observation of the negative electrode for lead-acid batteries during their cycling. The surface changes are evaluated during both deep cycling and PSoC (Partial State of Charge) cycling. The mode leads to gradual degradation of the negative electrode – mostly because of irreversible sulfation. The speed of the sulfation can be influnced by additives of the negative active mass added already during production process. The active mass was firstly examined by electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. The crystal growth during cycling was observed using confocal microscope Olympus Lext OLS4100.
