A steady 2%-3% y/y improvement in batteries is the trend, I believe. 5x improvement to industrial packages represents an extraordinary claim if a not miracle. This article seems like bad science reporting - taking a theoretical maximum energy density of Li-S batteries in the lab and thinking that because the cathode can be preserved longer in this design, it means a 5x capacity improvement delivered. Improving the longevity of the cathode is an improvement, but Li-S batteries still have a lot of issues to be resolved before they show up in a production cars or your phone.
