Literature review evaluates property enhancement and artificial intelligence integration in green phase change materials, indicating viable pathways toward sustainable thermal energy storage.
The production and degradation of conventional paraffin-based phase-change materials has a significant negative impact on the environment, despite their benefits for renewable energy sector intermittency issues. Recent research on developing sustainable energy storage materials highlights the importance of Green Phase Change Materials (GPCM) and their benefits for environmental conservation. The natural characteristics of GPCMs hinder their use in a wide range of applications; however, property enhancement technologies mitigate these limitations and make them suitable for all energy storage problems. The main aim of this review article is to analyze the characteristics of bio-derived phase change material and their limitations, and further analyze the different techniques of property enhancement. This study also focuses on the possibility of developing a circular economy through GPCM by integrating Artificial Intelligence. This comprehensive literature review highlights the gaps in the availability of GPCM property data and the lack of standardization in property enhancement methods, along with their associated implications.
