Pustowka, Pavel ; Tichý, Jiří (referee) ; Kazda, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis in its first part deals especially with characteristic of lithium ion accumulators in terms of their structure, electrochemical properties and also features of the most commonly used cathode materials. Especial attention is given to the high-voltage cathode material LiNi0,5Mn1,5O4 which cell voltage is close to 5V. The second practical part deals with the preparation of cathode materials based on LiNi0,5Mn1,5O4 with different temperatures in the second stage of annealing and analyzing them in terms of structure and electrochemical properties using appropriate measuring methods.

Study of intercalation properties of negative electrode materials
Minda, Jozef ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the research of intercalating properties of negative electrode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion accumulators. The main focus of this work is on the kinetic aspects associated with the diffusion processes of lithium in graphitic negative electrode material and sodium in titanates materials in relation to the electrochemical parameters. By comparing the materials in terms of kinetic properties expressed by the diffusion coefficient with using of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the state of the base material and after creating the passive layer on the electrode, it is possible to determine the application possibilities of the materials and the dependence on the electrochemical parameters. In the thesis is designed a procedure for electrodes preparation, measurement and evaluation of monitored parameters. Within the experimental part, the structural and electrochemical parameters and diffusion coefficients of the studied materials are determined by the proposed method.

Modification of Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Accumulators
Kazda, Tomáš ; Studničková, Marie (referee) ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Vondrák, Jiří (advisor)
This doctoral thesis deals with properties of cathode materials for Lithium-Ion accumulators. The theoretical part consists of an overview of the cathode materials and a brief introduction into the very wide area of Lithium-Ion accumulators. The goal of this work was to study the LiCoO2 cathode material and to prepare some modifications of it by doping with other elements. This work was then extended with the study of the new generation of high-voltage cathode materials. The aim of this part was to study their synthesis, their physical and electrochemical properties and the influence of used electrolytes on their electrochemical stability. The work then focuses on the influence of doping these materials and the influence of another part of the battery – the separator – on the overall properties of these types of cathode materials. The results show that doping the LiCoO2 cathode material with sodium and potassium lead to an enhancement of some electrochemical properties as stability during cycling or stability at higher loads and also the long-term stability during aging is better. The LiNi0,5Mn1,5O4 high voltage material was synthetized in both its forms in comparable or even better quality compared with the results from foreign laboratories. The synthesis process was watched in-situ by SEM, thanks to which a unique study of the ongoing changes during synthesis was done. Also the best suitable electrolytes for this material were identified from the viewpoint of stability at high voltages, which is important for the future practical use. Doping of the material with chromium resulted in better stability and capacity both during cycling at standard conditions and at higher temperature and load. A significant impact of the separators on the overall electrochemical properties of the cathode materials was proved, which could be a big benefit for their future usage.

Determination of the most suitable ratio of cathode materials for the lithium-sulfur battery system
Benešová, Petra ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Jaššo, Kamil (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with a topic of determination of the most suitable ratio of cathode materials for the lithium-sulfur systems. The first two chapters provide a general introduction to the topic of electrochemical energy sources and present the commonly used primary and secondary battery systems with emphasis on their characteristics and applications. The core of the theoretical part is dedicated to lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries, their working principles along with the benefits or drawbacks related to the particular systems, and widely used materials. The experimental part briefly comments on determining the suitable electrode paste preparation method, the subsequent main part is focused on evaluation of electrochemical performance of cells using different ratios of cathode materials. Five samples of cathode materials were prepared, where the sulfur ratio is in range from 64 to 88 wt. %. Finally, the comparison of all prepared ratios in terms of their electrochemical properties is provided.

Calandering of li-ion electrodes and its impact on the final capacity of lithium-ion cell
Svoboda, Lukáš ; Kazda, Tomáš (referee) ; Čech, Ondřej (advisor)
There is an effort to produce lithium-ion batteries with maximal density of energy, or higher capacity of cell with the same size. Calendaring of electrodes is important part of manufacturing of batteries. Its parameters, mainly the pressure of calendaring and with it related the final compression ratio of electrode layers, affect parameters of battery significantly. It is the process of pressing electrode material coated on current collector with certain pressure and it reduces its porosity and thickness. The aim of this bachelor thesis is determination of suitable level of calendaring that increases specific capacity, but does not reduce its cyclability.
