content: To be fair, many new battery announcements are ignored because of serious flaws in the battery cell, whereas this report is pretty exhaustive and it seems like a straight upgrade over lithium ion (though I note the cost is not announced, but seeing as lithium is hella expensive, it seems likely that it could be mass produced cheaper than Lithium Ions), and VERY frequently because media reports on it WAY before it would be ready for market. For instance with this report, the annode is done, the cathode isn't. So the source is reporting on technology that is quite literally half baked. Battery tech takes time, and some sources don't realize how many things have to be considered. A common thing I hear is "This tech will charge an electric cars battery in 5 minutes, isn't this amazing?" No, and you know why it won't reach market? Because its being charged off a current source far beyond what someone outside a lab can easily provide, and its charging curve isn't nearly as good when on your standard consumer house circuit.
