I tried to research this "superfuel" and came to the conclusion that it is LITHIUM. It's a sales pitch by "MONEY whatever".

I'm going to follow this and see what happens with this new type of battery...

Lithium-Ion Battery Inventor Introduces New Technology for Fast-Charging, Noncombustible Batteries

The engineers’ glass electrolytes allow them to plate and strip alkali metals on both the cathode and the anode side without dendrites, which simplifies battery cell fabrication.

Another advantage is that the battery cells can be made from earth-friendly materials.

“The glass electrolytes allow for the substitution of low-cost sodium for lithium. Sodium is extracted from seawater that is widely available,” Braga said.
