Phase Change Materials (PCM) can absorb energywhile heating as it undergoes a change in phase and emits theabsorbed energy to the environment in a reverse coolingprocess. Organic PCMs have been extensively used forthermal energy storage in building applications due to itsphase transition temperature within the human comforttemperature zone. It has a tendency to leak which limits itsapplication. Encapsulation of PCM in a core-shell patternhave efficiently resolved the issue. This paper is focused onBio-based PCMs and the enhancement of thermalconductivity, encapsulation techniques of Organic PCMs. Italso highlights its versatile application in food, textile, solarenergy systems, buildings and paints.
