Electrode Materials for Sodium-ion Batteries Based on Carbon
Homolka, Tomáš ; Binar, Tomáš (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on electrode materials for sodium batteries with a particular emphasis on anodes, especially hard carbon. The history of sodium-ion batteries and their operating principle are discussed as well. The project also describes the history of lithium ion batteries, as they share a significant part of their development and operating principle with sodium-ion batteries. In the practical part, measurements of rate capability, capacity and coulombic efficiency of the selected hard carbon are then performed. The sodation method is also tested and the effect of moisture on its properties is further investigated.

Sodium-ion batteries: research of carbon based negative electrode materials
Homolka, Tomáš ; Máca, Josef (referee) ; Libich, Jiří (advisor)
This work focuses on the research of hard carbon as a promising negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries. The first part deals with electrochemical cells and their development in general. Then lithium-ion cells, their history and the materials currently used are mentioned. The next section discusses sodium-ion cells, their development so far, current issues and differences compared to lithium-ion cells, as they appear to be one of the promising post-lithium technologies with the potential for rapid commercialization. In the practical part, properties of some material samples are tested with a focus on their capacity and coulombic efficiency.

Advanced carbon structures as a material for Na-ion batteries
Bečan, Jan ; Čech, Ondřej (referee) ; Kazda, Tomáš (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the description of individual types of batteries. The first part is focused to primary and secondary batteries, materials for their positive and negative electrodes with a focus on lithium-ion batteries and their changes over time. The next section focuses on a more detailed description of sodium-ion batteries, used electrode materials and to their problems. Practical part is focesed to preparing of electrode materials and to completing of measuring electrochemical cell and to discribing of measuring methodes and to evaluation of measured data.

Electrolytes characterization based on mixtures of ionic liquids and aprotic solvents
Šašek, Martin ; Libich, Jiří (referee) ; Máca, Josef (advisor)
The thesis deals with liquid aprotic electrolytes based on mixtures of ionic liquid and solvent. EmimBF4, namely 1-ethyl-3-ethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, was used as the starting ionic liquid. A mixture of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate was used as solvents. Electrolytes were enriched with two electrolyte salts LiBF4 and NaBF4 from the resulting mixtures selected the most suitable electrolytes for Li-ion and Na-ion accumulators. Electrolytes were selected taking into account the required properties: the width of the potential window, the measured electrical conductivity and, last but not least, the safety.

Sodium-ion batteries: research of carbon-based negative electrode materials
Homolka, Tomáš ; Libich, Jiří
This paper is mainly focused on research of hard carbon as promising negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries. The first part deals with batteries and their usage in general. The next section deals with sodium-ion batteries, their development and differences compared to lithium-ion, as they seem to be one of the promising post-lithium technologies with the potential of quick commercialization. The emphasis in this work is put on the negative electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries based on hard carbon as an active electrode material.
