Seems like Gatorade, a water based electrolyte, instead of an acid based electrolyte. It’s mostly about less toxic and cheaper which are pluses, but nothing really about how well they work
There was a brief mention in the article about how they used a bismuth oxide layer to prevent dendrites from forming, that's novel and cool. However I think the bigger issue is material cost - bismuth costs much more than lead acid.
