Novel materials for organic and hybrid electronics and photonics
Kratochvíl, Matouš ; Yumusak,, Cigdem (referee) ; Táborský, Petr (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
Obor organické elektroniky nabízí jedinečnou možnost masové výroby levné a ekologicky přívětivé elektroniky. Otevírá dveře novým funkcím a tvarům zařízení, které standardní elektronika na bázi kovu a křemíku neumožňuje Možnosti dané povahou organických látek a pokrok ve výzkumu syntézy nás zásobují novými materiály pro fotonické aplikace. Hlavní motivací této práce je hledání nových materiálů a zkoumání vztahu mezi jejich molekulární (a krystalickou) strukturou a vlastnostmi. Tato práce je zaměřena na studium optických a/nebo elektrických vlastností nových materiálů pro fotonické aplikace. Materiály prezentované v práci jsou organické i hybridní organicko-anorganické, u nichž je snaha získat to nejlepší z obou světů. Výzkum prezentovaný v této práci se skládá ze tří samostatných částí, které jsou propojeny cílem studovat vztah mezi strukturou materiálu a jeho vlastnostmi a metodami používanými ke studiu těchto vlastností. První část si klade za cíl představit materiály vykazující účinnou fluorescenci v pevné fázi (Solid-State Fluorescence, SSF). V této práci jsou prezentovány dvě série materiálů vykazujících SSF. Barva emise je řízena změnami skupin přitahujících elektrony v push-pull systémech molekul. Výsledky ukazují efektivní (>10%) emise pokrývající většinu viditelného spektra (~450–650 nm). Druhá část prezentovaného výzkumu zkoumá vliv thionace na známou skupinu nízkomolekulárních polovodičů – diketopyrrolopyrrolů (DPP). Prezentované výsledky ukazují ve studovaných molekulách výraznou preferenci n-typové chování následkem thionace, s řádovým zvýšením pohyblivosti elektronů, a také působivě nízko ležící hladiny LUMO (~ 4,5 eV). Třetí část uvedených výsledků je zaměřena na perovskitové materiály pro fotonické aplikace. Hybridní materiál – organo-olovnato-halogenidový perovskit je již téměř půldruhého desetiletí v centru pozornosti výzkumníků v oblasti pokročilé fotoniky. Perovskitové solární články prokazují pozoruhodnou účinnost, avšak jejich využití stále brání problémy se stabilitou. V této práci je prezentována studie stability jako referenční bod pro další výzkum v této oblasti a pro získání vhledu do procesů ovlivňujících stabilitu perovskitových materiálů a solárních článků. Následně je navržen a otestován přístup ke zvýšení stability a výkonu článků, využívající materiály studované ve druhé studii.

Nakládal, Martin ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the study of the lifetime of charge carriers in perovskite single crystals. The principle of perovskite solar cells is formulated, their main structures are characterized and the history of the development of perovskite solar cells is summarized, especially in terms of efficiency. The properties of perovskite single crystals with perovskite solar cells are compared.

Rheological properties of gels for Pechini syntheses
Wirthová, Michaela ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Zmrzlý, Martin (advisor)
This work deals with preparation of layers of ceramic materials – perovskites. The introductory part includes general characteristics concerning structure, properties and use of this materials. In details then there is described method of their preparation, namely Pechini´s syntheses, which are most widely used. Optimum molar ratio of components is discussed, in the sense of what compositions lead to creation of perovskite structures. Influence of this parameter on rheological properties of precursory gels is described in the end of the first part of work. In experimental section there are described preparations of gels, which are prepared via reaction between citric acid and ethylene glycol and gels, which are prepared by Pechini´s synthesis. Rheological properties of prepared gels (density, viscosity and surface tension) and besides determination of amount of nitrates in gels are characterized. Temperature dependence of viscosity of gels, that are prepared by reaction of citric acid and ethylene glycol are determined. In final part successful preparations of perovskite layers is shown on ceramic substrate. This layers are observed by means of light optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.

Study of perovskite solar cells degradation
Hrbková, Silvie ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
This thesis studies the degradation of perovskite photovoltaic cells placed in atmospheres of different moisture. Samples with inverse structure: ITO/ PEDOT:PSS/ CH3NH3PbI3–XClX / PC70BM/ Ca/ Al were prepared. Electrical characteristics were measured for 2 months and similar degradation trend was observed for all the samples. Perovskite cell efficiency PCE decreased to 20 % of the initial value in t80= 46±3 days in laboratory, t80=23±1$ days in nitrogen atmosphere and t80=25,7±0,6 dní days in dry atmosphere. For the initial 27 days of the experiment, a faster degradation linked with the decrease of ISC, FF and VOC was observed. After this period, the value of FF has stabilised at 0,777±0,009 % and the value of VOC at 0,70±0,02 % of their original value (in the laboratory atmosphere). Additional fall of PCE resulted only from the decrease of ISC and was slower than in the initial period. From the results acquired, it has emerged that during the experiment, the cell encapsulation provided a sufficient barrier against outer moisture. Residual moisture present in the sctructure, was labeled as the source of the degradation. The moisture is believed to enter with the hygroscopic material PEDOT:PSS during the samples preparation procedure. During the degradation, absorption measurements of photovoltaic cells were executed. The absorption spectra didn't change. That indicates, that the decrease of ISC is not caused by the reduction of light absorption. The thesis also studied the degradation of perovskite solar cells under illumination. The samples were exposed to UV radiation for 55,5 hours. The PCE time of decrease to 20 % of the initial value was t80 = 6±2 days. It was revealed, that UV radiation significantly accelerates the decrease of ISC.

Highly porous ceramic oxide materials for environmental catalysis
Husťák, Miroslav ; Částková, Klára (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
As far as the replacement of fossil fuels with more environmentally friendly options is concerned, hydrogen is considered as the most promising source of energy. Currently, hydrogen is mainly produced through the method of methane reforming. This method requires the utilisation of catalysts made of precious metals. This master's degree thesis therefore investigates perovskite materials SmCoO3, Sm0,8Ca0,2CoO2,9, SmCo0,8Al0,2O3 and Sm0,8Ca0,2Co0,8Al0,2O2,9, which could be utilised as catalysts in the production of hydrogen by methane reforming. Methane reformation occurs on the surface of a catalyst. Therefore, it is desirable to ensure that the specific surface area of a catalyst material is as large as possible. For that reason, the aforementioned perovskite materials were prepared by two sol-gel methods, which are expected to create perovskites with large specific surface areas. It was investigated in the course of the work how the method of synthesis affects the structure and catalytic properties of individual materials. The SmCo0,8Al0,2O3 material prepared by a sol-gel synthesis with propylene oxide as a gelation agent demonstrated the best results - the measurement of catalytic activity showed that the methane conversion had achieved the value of 99%.
