Investigation pressure effect on lead-acid accumulator lifetime for hybrid electric vehicles.
Kulhány, Andrej ; Bilko, Radek (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
The thesis is focused on remitting lead-acid segments of partial charge mode which simulates the conditions in HEV. The experimental cells were submitted to different pressures on the electrode system. The main aim of the thesis was to minimize the irreversible sulphating of the negative electrodes, which are in the PSoC regime limiting in the overall life of lead-acid accumulators. All cells were submitted to measurement of the negative electrode potentials, resistance of active materials, contact resistance of the grid – the active material and measurements of pressure changes during three PSoC cycles.

Monitoring of Electrode Changes of Negative Electrode for Lead-Acid Batteries by Operando Confocal Microscopy
Hálová, Hana ; Vanýsek, Petr (referee) ; Chladil, Ladislav (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the laser microscopy observation of the negative electrode for lead-acid batteries during their cycling. The surface changes are evaluated during both deep cycling and PSoC (Partial State of Charge) cycling. The mode leads to gradual degradation of the negative electrode – mostly because of irreversible sulfation. The speed of the sulfation can be influnced by additives of the negative active mass added already during production process. The active mass was firstly examined by electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. The crystal growth during cycling was observed using confocal microscope Olympus Lext OLS4100.

Research of thermal effects in lead-acid batteries
Vrba, Marek ; Abraham, Pavel (referee) ; Neoral, Jiří (advisor)
Based on the Czech and foreign literature, this work introduces us to the history, the dividing types of electrochemical cells, specifically deals with the lead-acid battery. The lead-acid battery principle is described and its behavior during charging and discharging. Another topic is the design and distribution. The basic division is the lead-acid accumulator batteries with electrodes submerged and maintenance-free batteries so-called "VRLA", which is gradually coming into force and function of classical battery electrodes are submerged in more demanding applications. Currently, VRLA batteries are used for PSOC system in hybrid vehicles. The practical part of this work deals with PSOC regime that is applied to the experimental cells with electrodes with different admixtures. The results of the influence of admixtures on the durability of articles in PSOC system are summarized at the end of this work.

Impedance measurements of lead-acid accumulators
Vaculík, Sebastian ; Bača, Petr (referee) ; Abraham, Pavel (advisor)
The main aim of this paper is to contribute to the elucidation of electrochemical processes. These processes occur in the investigated experimental lead-acid cell. For this purpose, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used. There are two methods of measurement presented. First one is used to measure impedance between electrodes. Second one is used to measure impedance of collector ribs inside positive or negative electrode. The results are represented by electrical equivalent circuits, whose elements are described in detail in the theoretical part.

Effect of glass fibers in the lead-acid batteries for hybrid electric vehicles
Klojda, Viktor ; Tošer, Pavel (referee) ; Bača, Petr (advisor)
Master´s thesis deals with the utilization of lead-acid accumulators in hybrid electric vehicle regime. It describes the side effects known as PCL, generated during PSOC regime and connected with the length of the battery lifespan. One possibility how to eliminate these effects, is the use of additives in active mass of the negative electrode, in the form of glass fibres. The project provides the parametres and reactions of additive, that have lead to the improvement of battery properties. The purpose of this thesis is to verify the positive effect of the aditive on the lifespan of the lead-acid accumulator.
