Our work

The overall objective of the ARMS project (Atomic layer-coated gRaphene electrode-based Micro-flexible and Structural supercapacitors (ARMS)) is to integrate comprehensive materials and processes, including graphene-rich bio-based carbon materials and graphene-decorated carbon fibers, and to develop scalable and cost-effective atomic layer deposition (ALD) manufacturing technology to fabricate totally eco-friendly supercapacitors with energy density reaching > 50 Wh/kg that is comparable to batteries without sacrificing the power density, cycle life or eco-friendliness, and open up opportunities to establish a new value chain for supercapacitor manufacturing with European SMEs as key players.

ARMS Project at Graphene Week 2024

The 19th edition of Europe’s leading Graphene and 2D materials conference, “Graphene Week 2024,” took place in Prague, the Czech Republic, October 14 – 18, 2024. This annual event gathered graphene experts and Graphene Flagship associated projects. Our project was represented by its technical project manager and post-doc researcher, Hamed Pourkheirollah from Tampere University and Associate Professor Jinhua Sun from Chalmers University.

ARMS project: Introducing AIMEN’s capabilities, role in the project, and research team

As part of the ARMS project, AIMEN is concentrating on the desizing and activation of carbon fibre for graphene coating to maximize the capacitance of electrodes. Additionally, the project involves studying the rheology of an electrolyte system compatible with epoxy resin and developing structural supercapacitors through vacuum resin infusion, which will be incorporated into a drone.
