Abstract Pesticide residues have seriously damaged the natural environment and social security. Here, we prepared the efficient functional biochar (FB) for sulfonylurea herbicides from cotton straw cellulose (CSC) by hydrothermal carbonization with the methacrylic acid. The molecular simulation of FB indicated that π-π electron-donor–acceptor (EDA) interaction and formation of charge-assisted H-bond were both the main […]
