Found this → Could 'rust' hold key to electric travel?
The article makes no mention of any capability to recharge the liquid in the car, or at home. It seems to imply that the only way to "recharge" your car is to visit the filling station. If that is the case, then it seems like this scheme would have many of the same drawbacks as a hydrogen fuel cell car.
I have to admit, some of the text in the article is rather infuriating to me. Example:
Expecting people to change their habits to something more convenient and efficient? Heaven forbid!
Unstoppable barrier! And that's why companies like Tesla have been unable to sell any of their impractical battery-powered cars, because nobody wants a car that comes with an UNSTOPPABLE BARRIER. Thank goodness those boffins in the UK have a solution coming.
uhh… Which side is he really arguing for now?

Prof Cronin told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "This will overcome a big kind of cultural inertia - you can get instant refuel in the same way, with no change to your behaviour now.
Expecting people to change their habits to something more convenient and efficient? Heaven forbid!
Prof Cronin said: "If you are going to shift to electric cars, recharge time seems to be an almost unstoppable barrier because you are going to have to plan - even with a super-charger - a half-hour to 45-minute wait.
Unstoppable barrier! And that's why companies like Tesla have been unable to sell any of their impractical battery-powered cars, because nobody wants a car that comes with an UNSTOPPABLE BARRIER. Thank goodness those boffins in the UK have a solution coming.
"And then there's the anxiety of whether you have got enough charging stations.
