Conceptual study of fuel cell miniaturization for a research submersible
Röder, Dominik ; Touš, Michal (referee) ; Miklas, Václav (advisor)
The Hranice Abyss, with an estimated depth of 1 km, is the deepest abyss in the world. However, no conventional means have yet managed to reach its bottom. The cable or battery power of small underwater probes has its limitations. The integration of hydrogen fuel cells into the Argo underwater exploration probe, currently being developed by the strojLAB student team at the Brno University of Technology, could help achieve this goal. Fuel cells are currently a widely discussed and promising power source, primarily due to the global effort to reduce CO2 emissions. This bachelor's thesis deals with a detailed comparison of fuel cells with an emphasis on their possible use in a small underwater probe. Possible solutions for hydrogen and oxygen storage in these probes were also described. A conceptual study was conducted on the integration of a suitable fuel cell into the Argo probe, including the selection of the fuel cell, a description of its components, and the calculation of the number of reactants needed to achieve the mission objectives. The selection of reactant storage and the design of suitable tank sizes were made, with the greatest emphasis placed on maintaining the smallest possible dimensions of the underwater probe. Furthermore, a design of the appropriate arrangement of the key fuel cell systems in the probe was carried out so that the balance during the mission would not be compromised. This work contributes to the development of new technologies in the field of underwater exploration and offers prospects for future applications of hydrogen cells.

Supported nanostructured Pd catalyst using atomic layer deposition: from methanol oxidation to hydrogen evolution reaction
Bawab, Bilal ; Knez, Mato (referee) ; Nielsch, Kornelius (referee) ; Macák, Jan (advisor)
V této práci byly zkoumány katalytické schopnosti druhů Pd deponovaných metodou Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) na různých substrátech. Druhy Pd složené z nanočástic (NP) a jednotlivých atomů (SA) byly syntetizovány na vrstvách anodických nanotrubiček TiO2 (TNT) a uhlíkových papírech, aby se prozkoumalo jejich chování při elektrooxidaci methanolu a reakci vývoje alkalického vodíku (HER). Pd NP byly naneseny na vrstvy TNT jako katalyzátor oxidace methanolu, čímž se využil jejich velký povrch a přímý elektrický kontakt přes titanovou fólii. TEM analýza ukázala velikosti částic Pd mezi 7 a 12 nm, s posunem k tvorbě porézní vrstvy Pd po 450 cyklech ALD. Cyklická voltametrie odhalila, že katalytická aktivita dosáhla vrcholu po 400 a 450 cyklech, což ukazuje na optimální zatížení Pd a vlastnosti proti otravě, což potenciálně umožňuje přímou konverzi CH3OH na CO2. Další role Pd dosáhla přítomností SA a NP. Druhy Pd byly dekorovány na uhlíkových papírech a byly studovány jako HER katalyzátor. vzorky před a po elektrochemických měřeních byly charakterizovány rentgenovou fotoelektronovou spektroskopií potvrzující přítomnost druhů Pd2+. Elektrochemicky aktivní povrchová plocha se významně zvýšila s cykly ALD a dosáhla plató při 300c Pd. Pozoruhodné je, že CP 600c Pd vykazoval nadměrný potenciál 4,55 mV, což je nejnižší hodnota udávaná pro Pd elektrokatalyzátory v alkalických podmínkách. To zdůrazňuje synergické účinky Pd konfigurací na zesílení HER a zkoumá mechanismus, kterým dochází k HER procesu.

Study of elektrode materials based on manganese dioxide
Kos, Lukáš ; Dvořák, Petr (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This work deals with the production and use of catalytic materials in fuel cells. The basic focus of work is the production of samples of catalytic materials based on manganese dioxide-enriched mixtures of different dopants. Samples subsequently made to measure, compare with other samples and determine whether the samples are enriched with dopants better than samples without dopant. According to information received, then determine whether they are suitable for use in fuel cells.

Optimalization of MEA structure for low temperature fuel cells
Chladil, Ladislav ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Barath, Peter (advisor)
This master’s thesis focuses on optimization of electrode configuration in combination with a polymer membrane (MEA - Membrane Electrode Assembly) in terms of material and technology. The main goal was to create a functional measurement of MEA structures with three different types of carbon materials. The theoretical part focuses on the physical and chemical properties of low-temperature fuel cells with polymer membrane. The experimental section describes the manufacture of catalytic materials with different types of carbon and various contents platinum. Produced by electrode materials were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The next step was to manufacture MEA structures and characteristics of VA measurement using a digitally controlled load in the experimental fuel cell Quintech.
