The paper you link to is about a battery that reacts oxygen with a metal-sulfur radical.
It does not convert metals between metallic and ionized forms, and does not take sulfur into or out of the complex, so your can't just traverse the periodic table and get there. On practice battery research is about ballacing a much larger set of features, like cycle efficiency and durability, so the obvious metal+halogen solution almost always loses.
