Much to my surprise, no. Quoting from the article:
Even after 150 charges, which would be one year or more of operation, the battery is still five times more effective than lithium-ion batteries on the market today,” Dr. Kung said.
So charge capacity when new is 10 times current batteries, reducing to 5 time current batteries after 150 cycles, and 'declining quickly' after that.
It sounds like really a important invention. And being a modification of existing tech, perhaps five years out isn't out of the question.
