Exactly... I am sure the state owned enterprises are designing manufacturing plants already.

I am not a chemist, but I did stay @ the Holiday Inn Express last night...
Spoke with one of my gnomes, possibly this is utilizing sodium magnesium sulfate, found in sea water. the Sulfur battery has been a bit of a holy grail, we need to learn more. The question I have is does this delve into the anti-petrovites that QuantumScape (look into who and what they are doing) is working on.
The big one here is the 5 min charge time to 80%, again IMHO the next beach-head is charge times...

Darn interesting post. Reading the article, I noticed it had a link to the IBM source that the article summarized. I linked the IBM direct info below.
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2019/12/heavy-metal-free-battery/
Most noteworthy to me is the group of heavy hitters IBM has partnered with to commercialize this battery chemistry. This sort of partnership means that the technical and economic feasibilities will be at high levels and big capital $$$ are ready to go. While not explicitly mentioned, I assume that product and manufacturing engineering are well along. Manufacturing alone will be several billion $$$.

A quick search shows gasoline has 36,000 watts per litre. So, it is about a third as productive, assuming that the other problems dont exist.Can you send us a picture of your gasoline-powered phone?

Comparisons to gasoline are entirely appropriate. In case you havent been paying attention electric cars are a thing. This isn’t just about powering your phone, tablet, and laptop.

“The three components, IBM said, can all be extracted from sea water, meaning the environmental damage...”
Must be a Sodium based battery technology. Excellent!
While IBM has some serious research chops, they don’t mess around with items without commercial value.
