Influence of Al ionts in nickel hydroxide on behaviour of electrodes
Růžička, Tomáš ; Vrbický, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This master's thesis is concerned with the influence of aluminate ions added in various concentrations into the structure of nicel hydroxide that creates Ni-Cd accumulators positive electrode active mass basis nowadays. Nicel hydroxide occurs in two basic modifications ? and ß. Nowadays used ß modification reaches low capacity in comparison with ? modification. The disadvantage of ? modification is its instability and gradual degradation to ß modification. The aim of this diploma paper is to select the optimal amount of aluminate additives into the structure of nicel hydroxide with regard to electrochemical efficiency, stability, and degradation degree of the accumulated layer.

Influence of Mn ionts in nickel hydroxide on behavour electrodes
Cirkovský, Jaroslav ; Vrbický, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
The aim of my diploma thesis was to explore the influence of manganese ions put into nickel nitrate structure. The attention was focused mainly on the stabilization of nickel nitrate a modification, which could not change into b modification. The theoretical part of my thesis focused on applied materials, kinds of acumulators, basic parameters of acumulators and the description of chosen methods of measurement employed. It contained the electrodeposition, the impedance spectroscopy and the cyclic voltammetry. The task of the experimental part was to measure the effect of manganese ions put into potassium hydroxide structure. Proportions of Ni (nickel nitrate) : Mn (manganese nitrate) 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 6:1 and 6:4 were blended for the measurement. By means of the electrodeposition, there was a thin layer of nickel hydroxide with an admixture of manganese ions from nickel nitrate and manganese nitrate dilution put on the nickel plate. After the spread of the thin layer on the nickel plate, the measurement by the method of cyclic voltammetry followed. The next task consisted in trying to add KOH (potassium hydroxide) anionic and cationic surfactant into the dilution.

Properties electrodes materials for alcaline accumulators
Řihák, Lukáš ; Vrbický, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This thesis is involved in basical properties of electrode materials for alkaline accumulators. This thesis describes the possibilities of capacity stabilisation of nickel electrode to be stable for highest number of cycles. Thesis also consider modification of properties of electrode materials on the base of nickel hydroxide by using dopes (aluminum, manganese). Measuration proceeded on the thin film electrodes created by electrodeposition. Measuration of properties of electrodes proceeded by cyclic voltammetry and frequency analyzis.

The influence of alcaline accumulators loading on their parameters
Čech, Ondřej ; Vrbický, Jiří (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with alkaline battery characteristics and it has special consideration of nickel-cadmium cells. There are three main experimental parts in this paper. First one is concerned with positive electrode materials properties and is aimed to investigate impact of magnesium ions formed into nickel hydroxide electrode structure. Second part deals with battery charging/discharging and response measurement tool design. National Instruments hardware PXI modules for data acquisition was used and program in LabView environment was made. Last one is concerned with nickel-cadmium cell properties changes during increased temperature stressing. Investigation of cell self-charge changes during lithium hydroxide addition into electrolyte was made.

Pulse anodization of aluminium for nanoporous structures creation.
Bačová, Veronika ; Magát, Martin (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
Předkládaná práce se zabývá nalezením vhodných podmínek pro výrobu nanaporézní struktury na tenké hliníkové vrstvě. V této práci jsou popsány postupy výroby nanoporézních struktur a jejich přípravou. Vznikly póry o rozměrech 5–20 nm. Byla zkoumána závislosti proudové hustoty v zavislosti na přiloženém pulzu. Všechny výsledky byly zkoumány pomocí SEM analýzy. Byla použita cyklická volatmetrie pro stanovení redukčního napětí při depozici niklu a zlata.

Self-organized nanostructured oxide layers
Šťastná, Eva ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Jan, Vít (advisor)
Series of anodization experiments was conducted on pure aluminium (99,95 Goodfellow) substrates with the aim to map the possibilities and evaluate available techniques. Oxalic acid electrolyte was used for anodization at different voltage levels ranging from 20 to 60V, while current was always measured continuously during the experiment. The influence of substrate surface treatment, time and grain size of the substrate was documented for as anodized oxide structures using FEG-SEM. Well aligned and evenly distributed pores of the diameters ranging 20- 35 nm were achieved. Extremely fine pores down to 10 nm were achieved using the step-down technique governed by current limitation. Further post-anodizing treatment was evaluated – pore widening by chemical and electrochemical etching, which resulted in pores 80nm wide. The feasibility of electrodeposition of metallic wires directly into the AAO structure without substrate removal was evaluated. DC, AC symmetric and non-symmetric voltage setups were used. The deposition experiments results varied strongly depending on the post anodization treatment. For combination of pore-widening after anodizing with step-down stage, the deposition of copper nanowires was achieved. For simple step-down procedure, creation of very fine copper particles was realized using non-symmetric AC deposition. Further experiments and feasibility of metals electrodeposition in the AAO pores without substrate removal is discussed.

Staňo, Michal ; Čechal, Jan (referee) ; Škoda, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with preparation of metal nanowires based on electrodeposition from aqua solution of metallic salts into porous dielectric aluminium oxide templates. The theoretical part covers various bottom-up methods of nanowire preparation using a template, electrochemistry and electrodeposition overview. The Experimental part is focused on the nanowire (Ag, Cu, Ni-H) preparation by means of direct current and alternating current electrodepositon and geometrical characterization of fabricated nanowires by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Defects of commercially available and prepared porous alumina templates are mentioned. Branching and coalescence of nanowires are briefly discussed as well.
