Electrochemical study of novel materials for energy conversion application
Novčić, Katarina ; Rees, Neil (referee) ; Kim, Daewoo (referee) ; Pumera, Martin (advisor)
Slibnou alternativou k řešení současné energetické a environmentální krize spočívá v využití elektrochemického rozkladu vody pomocí reakce na vývoj vodíku (HER). Proto existuje naléhavá potřeba zkoumat a vyvíjet nové elektrokatalyzátory pro aplikaci přeměny energie a HER jako součást tohoto procesu. Různé nové materiály se ukázaly jako slibní elektrokatalyzátory pro HER. Mezi nimi mají dvourozměrné (2D) materiály, jako jsou dichalkogenidy přechodových kovů (TMD), MAX fáze a MXeny, velkou pozornost díky svým slibným elektrochemickým vlastnostem. Navíc tisk ve 3D otevřel cestu k rychlému prototypování a výrobě elektrodových zařízení, a jejich kombinace s různými 2D materiály zůstává výzvou. Tato práce se zabývá elektrochemickým studiem různých nových materiálů pro aplikace přeměny energie a čisté výroby vodíku. Představuje studium makroskopické a mikroskopické elektrochemické výkonnosti upravených 3D-tisknutých nanouhlíkových elektrod a elektrokatalyzátorů TMD, MAX fáze a MXen. Makroskopická elektrochemická aktivita je studována tradičními technikami, jako je voltametrie, poskytující informace o průměrném elektrochemickém výkonu materiálů. Kromě toho je jejich mikroskopická elektrochemická aktivita prováděna skenovací elektrochemickou mikroskopií (SECM), která poskytuje vhled do místních rozdílů v elektrochemické aktivitě materiálů a informace o distribuci a rovnoměrnosti HER aktivních míst na površích materiálů. Tato práce má široké důsledky pro obecné porozumění elektrokatalytickému výkonu nových 2D materiálů, což je důležité pro jejich budoucí vývoj jako elektrokatalyzátorů.

The Conversion Efficiency of Different Kinds of Energy into Electrical Energy and the Possibility of its Accumulation
Ostruška, Jan ; Bartošík, Tomáš (referee) ; Macháček, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issues of the conversion efficiency of different kinds of energy into electric energy. Firstly, the thesis presents a brief introduction into types of energy sources and their capacity. Then, conversion efficiency of particular direct and indirect conversion is scrutinized, pointing to factors which affect conversion efficiency. The next chapter deals with the possibilities of accumulating electric energy. These are analysed as far as conversion efficiency is concerned as well and the end of the chapter concludes with comparison of these particular possibilities. Booth parts of the process – power generation and its accumulation – are connected in comprehensive scheme of energy conversions. The thesis develops on this scheme by mathematic description of its components and by designing a simulation programme, which would show the flow of energy in the scheme.

New approaches to the use of energy of water waves
Novotný, Vojtěch ; Varmuža, Jan (referee) ; Radil, Lukáš (advisor)
Bachelor´s thesis deals with topic of utilization the energy of sea waves. Mainly describes existing devices transforming this energy into electricity, their division and on what principle they work. Thesis also contains description of sea waves. In the next part, the author designs and describes his own devices converting sea wave energy into electricity. If there is a similar device that is patented and exists author process a patent search to find out.

Termoakustika
Trávníček, Zdeněk
The thermoacoustic energy conversion systems can operate as heat pumps (or refrigerators which are based on the same principle) or prime movers. The design optimization of the thermoacoustic refrigerator was made using two methods, namely the optimization based on the cooling load maximization and on the coefficient of performance (COP) maximization. The highest COP can be achieved with the noble gas mixture helium-xenon (62%-38%) as the working fluid, while the highest cooling load can be achieved with pure helium.
