New types of membranes for electrolyzer hydrogen - oxygen
Hýbl, Jiří ; Sedlaříková, Marie (referee) ; Kunovjánek, Miroslav (advisor)
This work deals with the production of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. Aims of this thesis are to measure different types of membranes and choose the best for use in elektrolyzer for hydrogen and oxygen production. Properties of membranes were tested in the laboratory electrolyzer in the short and long operation. The emerging gases from elektrolyzer were also tested on a gas chromatograph to determine the purity of produced hydrogen. At the same time are also tested different concentrations of KOH elektrolyte and the effect of concentrations on efficiency of electrolyzer.

Nonconventional Utilisation of Wind Energy
Zajíc, Josef ; Turek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis considers utilization of the wind energy as source of energy for the production of hydrogen. In the first part, there is described the types of wind engine specialized especially on screw wind engines and their construction. After that follows the description of dilemmas usage of electric energy addicted in time and with it connected problems with accumulation elektricity by the help of various methods. The final part of the thesis is than addicted to statistic evaluation of wind conditions, description and suggestion of the equipment hydrogen management.

Electrodes for electrolyser
Kaňa, Ondřej ; Knotek, Tomáš (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
In my diploma work i focus on the production hydrogen by electrolysis of water using by electrolyzer. Especially, i concentrate on preparation electrodes for laboratory electrolyzer. I work on principles of increasing electrodes area, increasing functional surface of electrodes, by Nickel – Zinc coatings. By electroplating or chemical plating we spread microlayer of Nickel-Zinc onto electrodes made of steel plate. Then, in alkali - hydrate oxide, we will corrode Zinc components off the alloy and this is how we create pore surface of electrode. From macroscopic view, electrode has same geometrics propositions, however from microscopics view, the electrode has bigger surface area. The hydrogen production increases with unchanget sizes of electrolyzer.

Hydrogen production from renewable energy source
Lakva, Petr ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
Hydrogen, as a form of storage for the excess energy from renewable sources, is a technically and economically viable option. However, the technology is not mature enough to compete with the other renewable energy possibilities. In this thesis, a study based on coupling two 330 kW wind-turbines with an NELP. 40 electrolyzer this connection should improve the utilization of wind power. In this thesis are two options of energy utilization. The energy produced by the wind-turbine is stored in the form, of hydrogen and is then delivered for consumption at variable power through a fuel cell, second option is use of produced hydrogen as alternative fuel for cars. This study is a general introduction for the wind energy system with hydrogen storage. Future studies should be more complex and detailed in order to understand and model the system with greater accuracy and to increase the possibility for the utilization of wind energy to generate hydrogen. This would enhance wind power competitiveness and sustain the continuously changing world energy demands.

Study of the effect of thin film catalyst morphology on efficiency of water electrolyzer with proton conducting membrane
Hrbek, Tomáš ; Matolín, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nováková, Jaroslava (referee)
Title: Study of the effect of thin film catalyst morphology on efficiency of water electrolyzer with proton conducting membrane Author: Tomáš Hrbek Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Vladimír Matolín, DrSc., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with the possibility of reducing the amount of noble metals in catalytic layers of proton exchange water electrolyzer (PEM-WE). The PEM-WE is an important unit of hydrogen economy as it allows storage of excess energy from renewable sources in the form of chemical energy. In the first part, etched membrane electrolyzers were prepared and tested, membrane etching is a previously unpublished procedure leading to a reduction of the amount of catalyst. Etched membranes were studied by scanning electron microscopy and, consequently tested in real working conditions in electrolyzers. In the second part of the work; Ir and IrO2 were compared as catalysts for PEM-WE anode. Their in-cell performance was tested directly in the electrolysers and in controlled condition by rotating disk electrode. Keywords: electrolyzer, magnetron sputtering, thin-layer catalyst, etched mem- brane PEM, Ir vs. IrO2
