This invention discloses a method for preparing and applying environmentally functional materials rich in persistent free radicals. The preparation method includes: mechanically crushing and sieving
agricultural waste, washing it with deionized water, and
drying it to constant weight; mixing the obtained
agricultural waste powder with alkali at a
specific mass ratio, adding deionized water, stirring uniformly at
room temperature to promote a complete reaction, and then transferring the mixture to a
crucible for
drying; and pyrolyzing the precursor in a
tube furnace under a
nitrogen atmosphere to finally obtain
biochar material with a high content of persistent free radicals. This invention utilizes a three-
step method of "
raw material pretreatment - alkali modification - controlled-temperature
pyrolysis" to efficiently transform widely available and low-cost
agricultural waste into structurally stable and high-performance environmentally functional materials. The process is simple, low-cost, and
environmentally friendly, showing good practicality and promising prospects for widespread application.
