Thanks for your input. Yes I agree - I think this technology is still a long way off being commercial-ready. The research referenced above seems to be aimed at the solution to your first 2 points. And they are doing this using a coating on the anode which they claim allows the lithium ions to pass through while blocking the compounds resulting from the reactions of non-oxygen elements in the air. But they are still at a ~500 cycle limit which needs serious improvement.

Storing energy in thin air?
Out of curiosity, what is your background? I see from your bio that you are interested in a lot of the same things I am.

Education-wise it was electrical engineering & work-wise it's been telecommunications network design and renewable energy mostly. What about yourself?

Oh nice @rynergy! Education in ChemE and working in electrochem/materials science. I'll have to check out some of your other blogs. If you are interested I just started writing about batteries and I'd love your input!
