Incorporation technology of bio-based phase change materials for building envelope: A review
Graphical abstract Display Omitted
Highlights Category of bio-based phase change materials. Principle and method of using bio-based phase change materials for thermal energy storage. Review of incorporation technology of bio-based phase change materials for building application. The directions and challenges for future research on bio-based phase change materials are presented.
Abstract In recent years, the energy consumed by heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAc) systems has reached 60% of building energy consumption. This will lead to a further increase in global warming and energy depletion. Phase change materials (PCMs) have been developed to deal with this problem. PCMs with excellent properties can store excess energy and release it when needed to fill the gap between energy supply and demand. However, currently, widely used commercial PCM is paraffin derived from non-renewable petroleum. Although it can play the role of thermal energy storage (TES), it inevitably brings some environmental problems at the same time. Bio-based phase change materials (BPCMs) are considered to be good alternatives for paraffin PCM because they are derived from plant and animal fats and have excellent heat storage properties. This article comprehensively reviews the incorporation technology of BPCMs, draws some important conclusions from the existing literature, and raises some issues that require further research.
