Abstract :

Bio-inspired phototrophic materials can change passive solar tracking systems and improve them by creating them like they attract sunlight, just like plants do. These components have resulted in excellent energy savings as well as extraordinary context-awareness. For example, MXene-enhanced actuation devices can convert 95 percent of incoming light into heat energy, while SunBOTs capture 400 percent more energy. High fabrication costs, technical complexity, and low durability under environmental stresses hamper their scalability and commercial feasibility. This systematic review aggregates the findings of multiple high-quality worldwide studies to help address these issues. It underscores substantial advancements, such as self-healing polymers, scalable roll-to-roll manufacturing, and hybrid material designs. Connecting development with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement helps this work to show a road map for including bio-inspired phototropic materials in renewable energy systems. The results underline the possibilities of the materials to change solar energy systems and support worldwide sustainability projects.
