Really? But... is it economicly viable, practical and with hi energy density?
Maria Helena Braga told me, for example, that LED bulbs (for home) in USA last quite less than on Europe, since USA politic don't care about ecology, so they prefer to produce more and sell more a product to last less and, even than it polutes more the environment.
Here on Brazil we have both, the long lasting and the short lasting LED Bulbs brands, and the long lasting (not sure if last as long as europeens) it's way more expensible than the short lasting (mainly from China).
I believe in the this super battery project cause I can't imagine one single reson to John B. Goodenough create a hoax, remambering he do not profit with such discoveries like a private enterprise research would do, since he works for university. Why would a recognized brilliant mind, nominated for Nobel Prize more than once, suddenly decide to end his respectable carrier with a hoax at 96 years old age?
And why would Maria Helena Braga destroy his reputation in the relatively begining of her research life, in a projet she will not profit ?
Give me one reasonable motive for both (Braga and Goodenough) do that ?
She was offered a new lab for research on Portugal, with more equipment, after these battery projects, to expand the studies. I don't think a public university would spend such money if they didn't trust or hadn't reasonable proofs of her claims.
