I don't think so. The batteries have less energy density than conventional Li-Ion batteries, and the article makes no mention of durability.
I'm a chemistry pessimist. The low hanging fruit of chemical reaction knowledge has already been discovered. The law of diminishing returns says that giant breakthroughs will become less common, and yield less improvement than previous discoveries.
There is a limit to what can be done in chemistry, and one of the limits is cost.
