“…Chemical synthesis of biochar using microwave irradiation was recently introduced as a rapid, high-efficiency, lowenergy, and low-pollution bulk heating option to create biocharhydrogel composites. [24,25] Microwave irradiation, unlike traditional polymerization synthesis, does not involve the use of organic solvents or any other byproducts. Using urea coated with a biochar-hydrogel composite, only 20.03% of N was released after 30 days.…”

“…Like an agrochemical, it does not affect nutrient availability and soil chemical composition due to neutral pH. It improves the soil’s physical properties, such as porosity, bulk density, water holding capacity (WHC), soil permeability, and infiltration rate [ 60 , 76 , 77 ]. It also maintains soil fertility, taking up an incredible amount of water.…”

“…2b. The advantages of shorter crosslinking time during the cellulose hydrogel preparation by using the MW irradiation procedure have been reported in several works [14,[37][38][39]. For example, Huber et al showed that 20 and 10 min of MW heating (at 100 and 180 W, respectively) was required to set the cellulose hydrogel [37].…”
