Electrodeposition of thin tantalum layers from ionic liquids and measurement of their electrical properties
Svobodová, Ivana ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Šimůnková, Helena (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the electrodeposition of tantalum from ionic solution 1-butyl-1- methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, ([BMP]Tf2N) at 200°C and description of related transfer and kinetic phenomena on the interface between the ionic solution and working electrode. Furthermore, the electrodeposition of tantalum layers in different ionic solutions containing tantalum salts and especially in ([BMP]Tf2N) is introduced. In the last part of the thesis, results of cyclic voltammetry, surface analysis SEM and elemental analysis EDX are discussed. MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure was determined comprising porous anodic alumina as the insulator and semiconductive TaxOy on the top of the insulator. The electric conductivity of the MIS structures was studied by using amper-volt IV and CV characteristics. The results of the cyclic voltametry, impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry are discussed.

A Study of Phenomena that Limit the Life-Span of Ni-Zn Secondary Cells
Chladil, Ladislav ; Oriňáková,, Renáta (referee) ; Vanýsek,, Petr (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This dissertation is focused on the study of selected additives and their effect on positive and negative electrodes of Ni-Zn secondary cells. The first group of additives consists of the inorganic compounds that reduce zinc oxide solubility and thus prevents shape changes of the zinc electrode. The second group contains organic additives that have the beneficial effect of dendrite growth prevention. All additives were examined in relationship to their compatibility with the positive electrode and to their effect on the zinc electrode dendrites inhibition, hydrogen evolution and corrosion inhibition. Moreover, the study of decomposition kinetics of supersaturated zincate solution with the first group of additives was performed. Finally, a short study of pulse regime charging mode with regard to dendrites inhibition was performed and evaluated.

Study of Metal Oxides and Hydroxides in Aqueous Solutions
Špičák, Petr ; Trnková, Libuše (referee) ; Kadlec, Jaromír (referee) ; Kazelle, Jiří (advisor)
This dissertation work deals with analysis of nickel hydroxide phases, their oxidation compounds, their stability and degradation mechanisms of electrochemically more active alpha phase on standard beta phase. The active material was prepared by both methods, electrodeposition and chemical precipitation. Main analysis method was Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance in combination with common analytical methods (cyclic voltammetry, potenciometry) can resolute between alpha and beta phases and quantitatively describe differences in main reaction by monitoring mass changes in the active material. Poor stability of the ?-Ni(OH)2 were improved by adding cations with valence two three and four into the structure instead of Ni atoms. The most important role plays cobalt and its hydroxide. Totally new way is to use titanium in combination with other cations. In electrolyte the most significant addition is LiOH, which has beneficial influent on cycle ability, stability in strong alkaline medium and cycle life.

Thin Film Electrodes for Electrochromic Devices
Macalík, Michal ; Kadlec, Jaromír (referee) ; Nováková,, Sabina (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The work deals with the deposition of layers for electrochromic device with different methods. Transparent electrically conductive layer of SnO2 was deposited by pyrolytic decomposition of peroxostannate solution. Hydrogen peroxide in starting solution contributes to the oxidation process of growth layers and to increase the electrical conductivity. Active electrochromic layer of WO3 was electrolytic deposited from the peroxotungstic acid solution. Optimal deposition time and the optimal annealing temperature of deposited layers were found. Passive electrochromic layer of V2O5 was deposited using dip-coating method from peroxovanadate solution. A contribution of solution diluted with distilled water was investigated. Found results were used to construct complete electrochromic device with polymer gel electrolyte.

Properties of electrode materials for alcaline accumulators
Fusek, Petr ; Vrbický, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The Bachelor´s Thesis is aimed at the problematic of the binders, that effects the features of the positive electrode of alcalic accumulators. The additive used on nickel´s electrode was cobalt. In the practical part of this thesis there is described a process for etching the nickel electrode and the following electrodepositions applied on these electrodes. Measurements of different concentrations of nickel and cobalt were examined and analysed in the graphs which are part of this thesis. There have been made comments of these graphs and the conclusions and observations as well.

Thin layer WO3 for electrochromic devices
Jakubis, Ivan ; Macalík, Michal (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work deals with issues of electrochromism and coating method electrodeposition. Electrochromic thin-films of tungsten oxide (WO3) have been electrodeposited on glass substrates covered with transparent conductive thin-film SnO2:F (FTO). Elektrochromic characteristics of these substrates that were electrodeposited for different times have been studied. Than there have been studied the impact of various annealing temperatures on electrochromic characteristics. In this work also have been compared electrolytes LiClO4 and NaClO4.

Utilization of fotovoltaic effect in combination with electrochromism
Šeda, Radek ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Jakubis, Ivan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the preparations of titanium and tungsten dioxide active electrochromic layers and simulation of link between electrochromic structures and photovoltaic cell. By means of electrodeposition, the active layers were made on the glass substrates ITO. These layers were subsequently analyzed, namely their intercalation properties. In this thesis, I tried to design the link between the electrochromic element and the photovoltaic cell. After this, functionality of this link was verified by software environment MATLAB Simulink.
