A little googling is bringing forth what seems to indicate that the fanfare is deserved, but as far as actually powering any complex device appears premature.
To begin with, it seems that it only holds about a tenth of the energy per weight as any battery. Also, if what I read is correct, she has not yet powered a cell phone with it. She powered an LED.
I am not trivializing her invention, but in reality it does appear to be a bit raw at this point.
One other advantage uncovered is that it is good for about ten times as many recharges as a typical cell phone battery. There is definitely promise in her invention, but I don't think I would run out and buy a Tesla, with the idea that you will be running down the road under the power of this lovely young ladies invention any time soon.
