“…Moreover, it has been also proved that tannin, in the presence of a crosslinker such as formaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine, glyoxal, or 1-, 3-, or 5-trioxane, is a very suitable material for preparing high-quality and low-cost gels and related carbon materials. Mimosa tannin is thus able to replace resorcinol, which is the standard reagent used to prepare the same kind of materials (Amaral-Labat et al, 2012, (Braghiroli et al, 2013). 2013b; Braghiroli et al, 2013;Grishechko et al, 2013;Reddy et al, 2003).…”
