Generation of nanoparticles by electrical discharge in liquids
Čechová, Ludmila ; Horák, Jakub (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the process of nanoparticle generation by electric discharge in liquids. The theoretical part is focused on generation of electric discharge in liquids, various methods of preparation of nanoparticles, including plasmachemical methods and methods of nanoparticle characterization. The experimental part deals with the preparation of silver nanoparticles. As a precursor for generation of nanoparticles by electric discharge, an aqueous solution of silver nitrate was used. The influence of experimental conditions, such as the influence of voltage polarity, influence of delivered power, effect of concentration, effect of added electrolyte and time course of nanoparticle formation were studied. All samples were analyzed by UV-VIS spectrometry. To confirm the presence of nanoparticles in the solution, one of the samples was analyzed by a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersion spectrometer for elemental analysis. Plasma diagnostics was performed using optical emission spectroscopy.

Generation of metallic nanoparticles by non-thermal plasma in liquids
Čechová, Ludmila ; Blahová, Lucie (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the process of nanoparticle generation using new source of nonthermal plasma combining corona and pin-hole discharge in liquids. The theoretical part is focused on generation of metallic nanoparticles using various types of plasma discharge, the properties of metallic nanoparticles, their preparation by other methods and methods of characterization of nanoparticles. The experimental part deals with the preparation of copper, silver and gold nanoparticles from solutions of their precursors. The influence of experimental conditions, such as the influence of voltage polarity, effect of precursor concentration, effect of added electrolyte or reducing agent were investigated. All samples were analyzed by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Dynamic light scattering was used to determine the sice of nanoparticles. To confirm the presence of nanoparticles, samples were analyzed using scanning microscope with and energy dispersion spectrometer for elemental analysis.
