Could, might, maybe.
Test it and prove its value.
Speculation is for bringing in investors.
Stick you battery....
Try some iron oxide,

Thomas Edison
“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.”

“This technology may be less than five years from commercial viability in EVs. For now, the team will continue investigating FeCl3 and related materials, according to Chen. The work was led by Chen and postdoc Zhantao Liu (the lead author of the study). Collaborators included researchers from Georgia Tech’s Woodruff School (Ting Zhu) and the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (Yuanzhi Tang), as well as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Jue Liu) and the University of Houston (Shuo Chen).”
Let’s see.... it’s Liu, Zhu, Tang, Liu and Chen. State of the art research in the US is being done by Chinese. And it’s not just batteries. Glad they decided to stay here after they finished they’re grad degrees.
Uhhh, iron chloride is FeCl2
Will it make them safer to use in high charge/discharge state?
I would not have the current Li batteries in my home, fire hazard in high current situation. Batteries eventually fail, when one does and if it shorts one cell could cause a fire very easily.
We are dying from complexity. I had an auto battery melt down on a trip. The issue was the sensor for the alternator was in the main computer and they had to reprogram the main computer and put in a new battery. No battery? It is a puzzle to get a car open today to work on it.
In the old days (like me) the regulator was in the charger. Much safer than sensing several feet away.

they looks smart, so...
They’re gonna mess around long enough and re-invent Thomas Edison’s battery...
Does it burn cooler than a lithium battery?
DW and I just returned FRom a long road trip - FL to CA to ME & back to FL, and we could not help but notice a lot of (wish weda countedem!) burned spots about the size of a Tesla on the shoulder of the highways in virtually every state we passed through.
Burned Teslas?
Found it passing strange that we did not see any burning Teslas, though!
Any of y’all notice burned spots on the side of your roads?
No they haven’t. They’ve been looking for a much more ENERGY DENSE battery. There are at least four major conceptual problems with EVs: 1. Energy density - a 700 lb 70 kWh EV battery holds about the same energy as 2 gallons and of gas (14 lb). 2. Charging time - pumping 70 kWh into an EV battery takes a long time dependent of course on the available power of the charger and grid. No amount of tinkering with battery chemistry will overcome this problem. 3. Power availability - where does this power come from? The eco nut jobs insist on wind and solar. These are not only intermittent and unreliable. They are extremely capital intensive for the low amount of power generated per dollar spent. The transportation sector of the US economy uses the equivalent power of all of the nuclear plants in the USA combined. Wind and solar cannot match this. 4. COST - EV batteries are extremely expensive and have a relatively short life. Once the virtue signaling morons have all bought theirs, normal car buyers are not interested in buying an expensive impractical vehicle that has a depreciation curve like a rock dropped off a cliff. There are numerous other issues that the fan boys/ shills try to lie away, but these alone should be enough to turn any sensible buyer away.
Every couple years I notice some “breakthrough” which will finally make batteries practical....and a couple years more go by with no change.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
They are shaking the money tree to see if some more grants drop out.
