To clarify future research directions, this study first analyzes the heat transfer process of solar-thermal conversion and then reviews phase change composites for high-efficiency harnessing solar energy. The focus is on enhancing absorption conduction while aiming to suppress reflection, radiation, convection. Most advancements have concentrated improving thermal conductivity, reducing aforementioned unfavorable processes remains less explored. In current research, best results show that efficiency has approached theoretical limit (100%), a typical conductivity reached 33.5 W/(m·K). However, further enhancement challenge, highlighting need structural modifications grafting. Other factors hindering received limited attention warrant in-depth investigation, with potential reduce reliance fossil fuels contribute environmental sustainability.
