Technology is there, batteries cotton made, simple and “secret recipe” says the experts.

How absolutely convenient! The power’s out on a random street in India, and lo and behold, there’s a cash machine defying the laws of electricity, happily dispensing banknotes like it’s hosting a money party. And what’s the secret behind this marvel? A backup battery with the magical essence of carefully combusted cotton! Because when I think of cutting-edge technology, I definitely think of burnt cotton as the pinnacle of innovation. Move over, Elon Musk, burnt cotton is here to save the day!

Oh, what a shocker! With the colossal demand for batteries looming on the horizon, thanks to the unexpected popularity of electric vehicles and the audacity of people wanting to store energy, some geniuses are furiously brainstorming alternatives to the oh-so-common lithium-ion and graphite batteries. Because, you know, using sustainable and widely available materials for battery production is just too outlandish of an idea. Who needs progress when you can stick to the tried-and-true, right?

Because nothing says cutting-edge technology like turning seawater into a positively charged electrode, right? Forget all those fancy cathode materials; seawater is the future! Who needs high-tech when you can harness the raw power of the ocean to power your gadgets? It’s like Mother Nature’s own contribution to the world of electronics. So, move aside, conventional cathodes, the salty sea is here to charge up our lives!
