It's also free of details, apparently. But this sentence seems key: "three new and different proprietary materials, which have never before been recorded as being combined in a battery" - that has "we're waiting for patents to be granted" written all over it.
From the sound of it, this is a lithium anode battery with some new materials tech in it, which might be a significant improvement in some areas over present chemistries, kind of like how Lithium Ion Phosphate and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide have different characteristics and are used for different purposes.
"New battery design could outperform lithium-ion across several sustainable technologies"

That is some weird marketese...

It uses lithium from my reading of the article.
