I would not discount the whole battery market over one academic publication. For starters if you look up Prof. Chen's latest patent (maybe only patent published to date) it describes a graphene - metal nanotube.

So it is possible that even Dr Chen's current work needs graphene, which is produced best from ultra high purity, ultra high crystaline graphite like the Albany deposit contains. My read is that likely Dr. Chen's latest discovery has not yet reached the stage where the patent has been published. This would mean that this is very early days and putting it into production in 2 years is likely a complete academic pipe dream.

Besides the other uses of ultra pure graphite there wil be many batteries made using graphite anodes for at least the next 20 years, despite any remarkable academic discoveries that make make them obsolete in future.

IMHO
