Per the article, this will replace Lithium ion if they can get the same energy density, cost point, and fewer fires/explosions. Flammability is the current downside for LiON batteries.
I'm not going to hold my breath but the organic cathode does look promising.
I don’t think it’s a credible candidate for better energy density. Lithium ions are small and light. There are plenty of applications for which energy per unit price is more important, though.
How many reported battery breakthrough reports do we have per year? 20? 50? It's hardly worth digging into them anymore, unless you have a vested interested in that topic.
