Par for the course for a uni press release, unfortunately. Not picking on Stanford at all, it just seems to be a common theme

Unfortunately the paper is not open access and I don’t think there’s a preprint, but from my quick read it seems pretty competently executed. (I’m a materials scientist but not a battery researcher.)

The cool thing about this paper IMO is that they’ve found a way to make rechargeable an established battery concept that’s known for high energy density. It also seems like maybe the cathode degradation over time could be better than in conventional solid state Li-ion tech, but I’m not really sure

Fair to pick on Stanford when they put out releases containing false information. That other institutions also lie isn't an excuse.

Fair enough, I don’t mean to excuse this, just making it clear that I’m not singling anyone out
