In the context of this thread, for storing renewable energy, it's primarily a question of cost. If it costs £0.1 per kWh that is stored, then it's unlikely to be widely deployed as representing a large percentage of our power, whereas at ~£0.01 per kWh, it becomes more or less a no brainer.
I believe the quinones they're planning to use are believed to be relatively benign; they're chemically closer to photosynthesis quinones. The real nasty with previous versions was the hydrobromic acid, but they've replaced it with potassium hydroxide; which is clearly corrosive, but probably wouldn't form WWI-style gas attack if a premises caught fire.
