“This reversible chemical reaction we are studying has the potential to increase battery energy density and charge cycles if the reaction proves stable and reliable, and if it can be manufactured economically, but that’s 10 years down the track.”
“Scientists invent new battery that may revolutionise everything from power tools to submarines!”
(I hate that one so much. Range depends on how much battery the car has in it, any decent chemistry can get any reasonable number with the right configuration, so the numbers are meaningless and incomparable.)
Also, there’s plenty of technologies better than current Li-ion in capacity, but it isn’t trivial to make a battery, and you need to have it be safe, cheap, long lasting, and able to be produced in huge quantities. That’s why for now, solid state, silicon anode, etc. aren’t everywhere.

Scientists discover new technologies! Li-ion now obsolete!
