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.

Electrical characteristics of graphene layers and their use as gas sensors
Kučera, Štěpán ; Kaspar, Pavel (referee) ; Macků, Robert (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the general characterization and description of graphene and related nanostructures. It involves production by the most used methods, including their advantages and disadvantages. Due to the impossibility of connection in the usual way, the graphene sample had to be contacted under visual inspection with a microscope with the tip contacts in the shielded area. Subsequently, it was subjected to current-voltage characterization with normal conditions on a Keithley 4200-CSC instrument. The next step was to measure the same sample under a different gas atmosphere. The result is a comparison of the specific responses to the change in gas atmosphere in which the graphene monolayer was exposed.

Utilization of carbon fibre for construction of elastic elements of mountain bike rear triangle
Linda, Jakub ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Březina, Lukáš (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to design a carbon elastic element in the suspension mechanism of the rear wheel of a mountain bike. The elastic element will replace the rotary link and its deformation will allow movement of the rear wheel suspension mechanism. At the beginning, the thesis deals with the theoretical introduction to bicycle geometry, types of rear wheel suspension mechanisms and their characteristics. Later on, the work is devoted to composite materials in general, and it also deals with methods of manufacturing a composite bicycle frame and deals with the mechanics of composites. Further, the thesis is focused on the research of already existing frames utilizing the flexible element in the suspension mechanism of the rear wheel. Finally, the work focuses on the design of a full-suspension bicycle using a flexible element, justifies the choice of the replaced suspension mechanism and also justifies the individual simplifying assumptions and their impact on the solution. The elastic element is analyzed for deformations and stresses in the Ansys software. Finally, the results of the analysis and recommendations are presented.

Proposition of grounding enhancing cement composite mixture
Sochor, David ; Bydžovský, Jiří (referee) ; Drochytka, Rostislav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design of a conductive cement composite grounding mixture for protection of building structures in areas with low conductivity. The theoretical part is mainly focused on summarizing the knowledge of the current protection of buildings against lightning and overvoltage. The study includes knowledge in the field of conductive building materials and aims to present the design of a cement composite mixture to improve grounding. Choosing the right raw materials to achieve electrical conductivity. A maintenance-free material has been developed, no humidity needed material while maintaining conductivity. The work it examines the possibilities of using industrial wastes as secondary raw materials. The conclusion focuses on laboratory testing of newly developed materials, summary and discussion of the results. With the developed samples, the resistivity was greatly reduced. The positive effect of ferric dust and carbon particles has been demonstrated.

Diffusion of carbon in welding joints of low alloys and high alloy steels.
Zdvořáček, Marek ; Rek, Antonín (referee) ; Stránský, Karel (advisor)
Content of a document result measurements and analysis carbon´s diffusion at welding joint created from hight alloyed austenitic steel CSN 417242 and not alloyed steel CSN 412 050. Samples have been put throught isothermal anneal in a temperature range 500 °C up to 1100°C. Aim one´s effort to metalographyic quantification carburized and uncarburized zone. The next part of the document content measuring x-ray energy through microanalysis, where has been record course of a carbon disintegration and selected replacements elements at whole length of the welding joint . At the end of experimental part has been gauged course microhardness HV 0,05 at whole lenght of welding joint, from an acquired data has been chose the most optimal temperature of isothermal anneal, to produce the smallest structural notch.

Composite electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries based on LiFePO4 prepared using GAC method
Vilhelm, Ondřej ; Neoral, Jiří (referee) ; Čech, Ondřej (advisor)
Presented work investigates the problem of secondary lithium-ion cells and the different available cathode materials. We have prepared samples of LiFePO4 with the addition of different kinds of carbon materials such as Super P, Vulcan and expanded graphite. We have always created the sample with and without surfactant. Developed samples were compared by measuring electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry, charge and discharge cycles and impedance spectroscopy). We also modeled the three-point cell for measuring electrochemical electrode materials.

Binders for supercapacitors electrodes
Gottwald, Tomáš ; Dvořák, Petr (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work deals with the issues of useing binders for supercapacitor electrodes and optimizing the technological process for their production. The work focuses on optimizing the amount of binder used in order to acheive the most capacity. The methodology consists of creating an appropriate experimental electrode and subsequent measuring its associated capacity with AutoLab. This aproach leads to creating grafs which show the dependencies of capacity on the amount of binder used.
