Yes, I understand that it can be used as part of a larger program to remove lithium. (I think I saw an artcile about someone using salt?) By itself, it doesn't require the removal of lithium. People that are heavily invested in it can just keep using it, albeit probably with some modifications. Given that some people (i.e. Tesla) are heavily invested in lithium, they could potentially adopt this new tech with their existing lithium setups and increase the power density/safety/longevity of their existing tech much faster than people can bring new tech online.
We've been seeing miracle battery announcements for years and years, though, and none of them have really materialized. The best we've gotten is quick charging the existing lithium ion batteries. When one of these miracle batteries actually makes it into mass production powering a few thousand cars, then we'll see what happens.
