Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the development of a new bio-based transparent wood (TW) biocomposite designed for thermal energy storage, addressing the need for functional energy-saving building materials.
  • This TW biocomposite combines excellent heat storage capabilities, adjustable optical transparency, and strong mechanical performance, outperforming traditional materials like gypsum panels in thermal storage and polycarbonate panels in environmental impact.
  • The life cycle assessment reveals that the bio-based TW has a 39% lower environmental impact compared to transparent polycarbonate, highlighting its potential as a scalable and sustainable solution for building materials.
