Highly porous ceramic oxide materials for environmental catalysis
Husťák, Miroslav ; Částková, Klára (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
As far as the replacement of fossil fuels with more environmentally friendly options is concerned, hydrogen is considered as the most promising source of energy. Currently, hydrogen is mainly produced through the method of methane reforming. This method requires the utilisation of catalysts made of precious metals. This master's degree thesis therefore investigates perovskite materials SmCoO3, Sm0,8Ca0,2CoO2,9, SmCo0,8Al0,2O3 and Sm0,8Ca0,2Co0,8Al0,2O2,9, which could be utilised as catalysts in the production of hydrogen by methane reforming. Methane reformation occurs on the surface of a catalyst. Therefore, it is desirable to ensure that the specific surface area of a catalyst material is as large as possible. For that reason, the aforementioned perovskite materials were prepared by two sol-gel methods, which are expected to create perovskites with large specific surface areas. It was investigated in the course of the work how the method of synthesis affects the structure and catalytic properties of individual materials. The SmCo0,8Al0,2O3 material prepared by a sol-gel synthesis with propylene oxide as a gelation agent demonstrated the best results - the measurement of catalytic activity showed that the methane conversion had achieved the value of 99%.

Study of the dielectric properties of perovskite crystals
Mlčkovová, Hana ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the preparation of perovskite single crystals by inverse thermal crystallization and subsequent study of the basic properties of these hybrid organic-inorganic materials that can be used in various optoelectronic (photodetectors, transistors, lasers, LEDs) or photovoltaic applications. Their behavior in the electric field was studied by impedance spectroscopy. Impedance and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics (frequency dependences) were measured in the dark and in the light. From the impedance dependences for measurements at 0 V voltage in the dark, the equivalent circuit was modeled and its parameters and dielectric constant were determined. From the C-V dependence, Mott-Schottky analysis determined the parameters – "flat-band" potential U_"fb" and charge carrier density N_"C-V" , the parameter – the so-called Warburg coefficient was found, which together with the parameter N_"C-V" was used to calculate the diffusion coefficient D.

Poláková, Simona ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the study of perovskite solar cells with a regular n-i-p architecture. The theoretical part of this work is mainly focused on the stability of perovskite solar cells, i.e. thermal stability and the influence of UV radiation on final perovskite solar cell stability. Furthermore, the deposition methods, the architecture of solar cells and the materials used for the preparation of electron and hole transport layers were described in more detail. The experimental part deals with the optimization of the preparation of perovskite solar cells (especially in terms of resulting photovoltaic conversion efficiency), with a description of the structure preparation process of the final photovoltaic cell and the interpretation of the measured results.

Perovskite materials
Gavranović, Stevan ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis is focused on a study of electrical properties of perovskite single crystals prepared by inverse temperature crystallization (ITC). Measurements were done on the organic-inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal MAPbBr3 and on the completely inorganic halide perovskite monocrystal CsPbBr3. Crystalline structure and chemical composition of prepared single crystals were determined using x-ray diffraction analysis. Current-voltage characteristics of perovskite monocrystals were measured using solar simulator. Hole carrier mobility were calculated from determined current-voltage characteristics using SCLC method. Furthermore, the dependencies of dielectric permittivity on frequency of alternating current were measured. MAPbBr3 single crystal showed better electrical properties (higher hole carrier mobilities) than CsPbBr3.

Dvořák, Tomáš
This paper deals with the problematics of perovskite solar cells, which can be the next generation of photovoltaic solar cells. The objectives of this research are to analyse changes in perovskite solar cells. For measurements of electrical properties were used various methods such as I-V characteristic, intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy and dependence of photocurrent on light intensity. Measurements indicate considerable changes of performance, which resulted from aging of perovskite solar cells. Results suggest deeper observation of perovskite solar cells.
