It's a bit early to call these advances solutions, while I'm all for the science and the technology, the modern trend to crow early is a bit disturbing.
They crow early because they need funding, this stuff costs big dollars, and like the COVID vaccines they can't be funded by private investment, it has to be government funding of some sort. So the sell, sell, sell the developments, even if it's only still lab scale.
But everyone knows this, even the Hydrogen naysayers in the battery industry use this repeated trend to talk down hydrogen by labelling it as a "new technology", that is despite much of the hydrogen economy R&D being older than Wind, SolarPV, LIoN or even Modern EVs!
