ARMS researchers featured in GRAPHERGIA podcast filmed at Graphene Week 2025
ARMS researchers participated in a GRAPHERGIA podcast episode, filmed during Graphene Week 2025 and subsequently released on YouTube and Spotify. The podcast was organised by GRAPHERGIA, a sister project within the Graphene Flagship, and produced by the Graphene Flagship. The series provides a platform for European researchers to share and discuss advances in graphene-enabled sustainable energy technologies.
The episode, titled “Charging the Future: How Graphene Fuels Sustainability”, is part of the GRAPHERGIA Podcast Series. It is hosted by Maria Abrahamsson, Director at the Graphene Flagship, and features contributions from:
- Athanasios Masouras, Chief Operations Officer at Pleione Energy (GRAPHERGIA)
- Hamed Pourkheirollah, Postdoctoral Researcher and Technical Project Manager at Tampere University (ARMS)
- Jinhua Sun, Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology (ARMS)
In the discussion, the ARMS representatives share insights from project ARMS on the development of structural and multifunctional energy storage systems. From around minute 20 onward, they explain how ARMS integrates energy storage directly into load-bearing composite structures, highlighting the potential to reduce weight, improve efficiency, and enable new system architectures beyond conventional battery-based designs.
The episode places ARMS research within the broader Graphene Flagship collaboration, linking it with GRAPHERGIA’s work on graphene- and 2D‑material‑enhanced Li‑ion batteries and sustainable energy solutions. The conversation underlines the importance of cross‑project cooperation to bridge fundamental materials research and real‑world applications.
