Synthesis of microwave-mediated biochar-hydrogel composites for enhanced water absorbency and nitrogen release
Superabsorbent hydrogels have been used to enhance water and nutrient retention in agricultural soils. However, wide applications of these polymeric soil amendments on large farms are plagued by their high costs and environmental footprints. Therefore, solutions are urgently needed in order to optim...
