Very exciting! 25Ah 18650 anyone?

Not sure about 25Ah, but a roughly 5x supposed output of a graphite based cell, it's possible we could be looking at 5-7Ah 18650 cells. Assuming similar voltage and discharge curve statistics this could be a major leap into the future of batteries.

Here's to hoping.

Can the safer Lithium chemistries be benefited from this Anode advance?

Just read this story too. Considering how battery tech is always the anchor to so many modern advances, this is huge news. I hope it pans out and makes it to market in a hurry - can't be fast enough. A simple and low-cost fabrication technique. Good stuff.
