I am a huge fan of the Donald Sadoway team at Ambri. http://www.ambri.com/technology/ Liquid Metal Batteries

I'd really like Ambri to succeed. It's not clear if the use of low cost materials for the storage chemistry will produce low system costs. The inexpensive chemistry appears to have led to expensive problems with seals/separators. Similar materials problems have kept sodium-sulfur battery costs high, even though the active storage materials are cheap, abundant, and offer good energy density.
