If it has the energy bound within and accessible there must be some way to release it and some would be faster than others.
If it is nonflammable I wonder what its failure mode would be and how it could be triggered and what counter measures are needed if any. If it has the energy bound within and accessible there must be some way to release it and some would be faster than others.
This is the case for normal lithium-ion batteries as well; they perform better at 120°F than at 70°F (and lose significant performance at even lower temperatures).
Miracle batteries are like Alzheimer's cures and memristor computers: they show promise in the lab but fall down hard when used to develop products people actually use.

There's no rule that having lots of bound up energy has to be dangerous, that it has to be possible to release it quickly. There's enormous amount of potential energy in pure hydrogen gas. If you can just fuse the atoms. But it's incredibly hard to release it.
> In fact, she adds, up to a point, rising temperatures only increase the electrolyte’s performance. This is the case for normal lithium-ion batteries as well; they perform better at 120°F than at 70°F (and lose significant performance at even lower temperatures).
there is some critique on previous papers[1] I would wait for an update from this blog to actually assess if these claims can hold water [1] http://lacey.se/2018/07/05/glass-battery-part-2/
The really important bit, comparison to lithium ion: >She did say that large battery banks that might be spun off from this research stand to not only have higher capacity, but also be substantially lighter than lithium ions. Although, she adds, perhaps the greatest weight savings will come not from comparing one battery cell's mass with another. “The biggest difference would be that you don’t have to have the same s…
I'll believe it when I can buy a cellphone with one. Miracle batteries are like Alzheimer's cures and memristor computers: they show promise in the lab but fall down hard when used to develop products people actually use.

I'd love to know what's wrong with the polymer electrolyte, the demo is so amazing..
