TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors modified Zn anode with graphene oxide (Zn@GO) by a facile solution casting method, which can deliver electrons across insulating ZnO, slow down the Zn intermediates from dissolving into the electrolyte, and thereby enhance the utilization and rechargeability of ZnAnodes.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of membranes based on graphene oxide bound to polycyclic π-conjugated cations such as toluidine blue O show substantially enhanced rejections for salts and neutral solutes over a wide concentration range.

TL;DR: In this article, a nanostructured zinc anode was designed in which 100 nm ZnO nanoparticles are wrapped and segmented by graphene oxide (GO) sheets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the energy-intensive operation of black liquor concentration by multieffect evaporation is discussed. But the energy efficiency of the kraft pulping process is not discussed.

TL;DR: This work compares the structure of industrially isolated lignin samples from kraft pulping and three alternative processes: butanol organosolv, super-critical water hydrolysis, and sulfur dioxide/ethanol/water fractionation to suggest there are physicochemical differences that could be leveraged in other valorization strategies.
