I know this is another article about electrolysis catalysts, but this one actually seems pretty incredible. Does anyone know more about how far long this lab group is in their research and whether or not there are any commercialization partners at this stage?

Have they run tests for longer than a week? Have they seen any degradation to the cathode or anode? Is there a reason to go beyond water electrolysis with the electrochemical tuning process in terms of energy storage?

My understanding (from reading the article) is that the single Li-ion battery lasted for a week.

Considering that these are extremely common metals, I can't see why this wouldn't be viable, even with anode/cathode degradation.

Maybe? The article was actually a little unclear on that. They may not have been able to run the experiment longer than a week. The only comparison they provide is the conventional catalyst which degraded significantly within 30 hours of operation.
