Project ARMS Workshop

As part of the FM&NT 2026 conference, a special ProjectARMS Workshop: Advanced Supercapacitor Materials – From Functional Electrodes and ALD Coatings to Scalable Applications will take place on 15 June from 15:00 to 16:30, bringing together researchers and industry experts in next-gen energy storage.

Participants will gain practical insight into cutting-edge research, learn about the latest technology, and discover real-world applications.

Special attention during the workshop will be given to the ARMS project technical development, advanced materials synthesis, and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) coatings. The speakers will introduce the synthesis of biomass-based activated carbons, electrochemical behaviour of electrodes, principles of supercapacitors, and pathways for high-volume scale-up of ALD coatings to achieve market readiness.

The workshop is relevant for researchers, doctoral students, representatives of higher education institutions, research institutes, technology developers, start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, industry professionals, innovation managers and organisations interested in building partnerships or bringing next-gen energy storage innovations closer to the market.
