Aprotic electrolytes for supercapacitors
Musílek, Václav ; Knotek, Tomáš (referee) ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals different types of the aprotic electrolytes for supercapacitors and investigates by impedance spectroscopy to conductivity and method cyclic voltametry to measure dimension potential windows. Used aprotic solvents: propylencarbonate, dimethylsulfoxide, N, N dimethylformamide, ethylencarbonate, dimethylcarbonate, diethylcarbonate and acetonitrile. In the aprotic solvents were appended salts: LiClO4, NaClO4, KClO4, LiBF4, LiPF6, TEABF4 and TMABF4. From these compounds were prepared solutions with the different molar concentrations.

Characterization of plasma activated water for biomedical applications
Šindelková, Kateřina ; Dzik, Petr (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
The aim of this master thesis is to characterize plasma activated water (PAW) prepared in various plasma systems using direct and indirect interaction of plasma with liquid or its surface. Plasma was generated by electric discharges at atmospheric pressure. The prepared plasma-activated water was studied with respect to its use in biomedical applications. The theoretical part deals with plasma activated water. It contains a description of the PAW preparation, its characterization in terms of produced particles or its physico-chemical properties. Also, methods for antimicrobial activity estimation or colorimetric determination of produced particles are described in this section. In the experimental part of this work, the types of discharges that were used for the PAW preparation and their comparison are presented. Two types of liquids were selected for the activation, namely distilled and tap water. Subsequently, concentrations of selected reactive particles in PAW (hydrogen peroxide, nitrates and nitrites) produced in three different plasma systems were determined. Besides the comparison of reactive particles production in various systems, their time stability was studied as well. Over time after the PAW preparation, the values of active particles concentrations have changed due to mutual interactions between the particles. Mainly, nitrites were oxidized to nitrates or vice versa depending on the PAW type and other conditions. Part of the work was also monitoring selected physical properties of PAW, namely pH value and specific conductivity. It has been found that PAW does not retain its activated properties for too long, depending on the type of preparation and methods of storage. Therefore, one of the important goals of this work was to determine and compare suitable storage conditions for PAW with respect to its potential biomedical applications.

Gel polymer electrolytes with lower flammability
Zítka, Jan ; Musil, Michal (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work discusses the research and development of gel polymer electrolytes and their use. It also deals with problems of characterization and optimization of technological process of polymer gel electrolytes with low flammability. Furhermore, this work deals with how to assess such electrolytes and what their properties. The main focus of work is a comparison of solvents contained in the gel polymer electrolytes and the creation of such a gel, which when compared to mechanical, electrical and physical properties will have the best results.

Navržení vhodného bakteriálního inokula pro podporu procesu kompostování gastroodpadu
Malinová, Lucie
Composting of food waste is an increasingly studied branch of waste management. Many works deal with the microbial composition of food waste itself and methods that would speed up the whole process. We tried to design a bacterial inoculum that would support the composting process in this study. We focused on bacteria of genes Lacto-bacillus, primarily on Lactobacillus acidophilus (CCM 4833), Ligilactobacillus salivarius (CCM 7274), and Limosilactobacillus fermentum (CCM 91). The bacterial inoculum was added during the mesophilic phase of food waste composting, where it was confirmed that the pH decreased in the initial phases. In another experiment, the adaptation of bacteria to an acidic environment was investigated, so that acidic compost juices were added to the liquid nutrient medium with bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus. The results showed that getting used to an acidic environment helps the bacteria to survive such extreme conditions and Lactobacillus bacteria can be a suitable inoculum to promote composting.

Porovnání terénní a laboratorní metody pro měření pH a ORP zemin
Pol, Jiří
This thesis deals with measuring pH and ORP soils field and laboratory methods. Met-hods have been tested on more than 300 samples of soils, sediments and substrates. Soi-ls have different soil types, land types and climatic regions. In the theoretical part are summarized types of soil reaction and methods of their determination, information about the redox potential and specific electrolytic conductivity and methods of their determination. In Materials and methods is described sampling, and individual characte-ristics of the samples, and the various methods used for determining pH, ORP and con-ductivity measurement. Obtained data are statistically analyzed, and particular methods are compared.
