I am using the achemso package for a two-column document and my URL's are breaking across the page in the references section. I've tried the following but no success:

I've included an MWE, my .bib script and image showing the output for reference. I am using TeXstudio 2.12.6 Version 5.9.1.

MWE

\documentclass[journal=chreay,manuscript=review,layout=twocolumn]{achemso}

\usepackage{chemformula} % Formula subscripts using \ch{}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Use modern font encodings
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}%adds hyperlinks to references in text. [hidelinks] removes blue boxes. 
\usepackage{mciteplus}
%\mciteErrorOnUnknownfalse
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage[section]{placeins}%Allows you to permanently fix figures.
%\sloppy%Makes sure that none of the text exceeds text width. Useful if have long chemical words.


\newcommand*\mycommand[1]{\texttt{\emph{#1}}}


\title{Title}


\begin{document}


Text \cite{Mees1952}
Text \cite{Car2018}
Text \cite{Xbox2020}


\bibliography{library}


\end{document}

.bib

@article{Mees1952,
author = {Mees, C. E. Kenneth},
file = {:C$\backslash$:/Users/kevin/Documents/Documents/EngD papers/GM02 the scientific literature/BIB TEST - paper2.pdf:pdf},
journal = {Nature},
pages = {972 -- 973},
title = {{{\textcopyright} 1952 Nature Publishing Group}},
volume = {170},
year = {1952}
}
@misc{Car2018,
title = {{Carillion fallout: 'They've literally locked the gate' - BBC News}},
url = {http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42690807},
urldate = {2018-01-15}
}
@misc{Xbox2020,

url = {https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-responds-to-70-next-gen-game-pricing-customers-will-decide/},
urldate = {2018-08-14}
}

output

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    In your case it may help to say \RequirePackage[hyphens]{url} before \documentclass (that's necessary because the class loads url with different options). This will allow URLs to break at - characters (which is usually avoided to avoid the impression that there is hyphenation going on). Alternatively, you can load \usepackage{xurl} anywhere in the preamble to allow line breaks at any place in the URL (can look a bit weird if the URL is broken in the middle of a word, but things probably won't run into the margin). – moewe Jul 17 '20 at 17:42

    Unrelated to the actual problem, but hyperref should usually be last package to be loaded (save for a few exceptions). – moewe Jul 17 '20 at 17:45
  • Again unrelated, but the title field for Mees1952 looks extremely fishy. According to https://doi.org/10.1038/170972a0 a more fitting title might be title = {Secrecy and Industrial Research}, or title = {Letter to the Editors: Secrecy and Industrial Research}, – moewe Jul 17 '20 at 17:47
