The consumption of non-renewable resources has made the earth's resource crisis increasingly prominent. Renewable energy solar energy is more and more popular. Highways occupy a large proportion of the surface area and therefore become an excellent carrier for the development and utilization of solar energy. Solar pavement and asphalt pavement are the two most common ways to use solar energy. Phase change material (PCM) uses its own latent heat to enable asphalt to absorb or release a large amount of heat under constant conditions to regulate the road surface temperature. Based on these issues, this paper compares the development of solar pavement and asphalt pavement. It also introduces the principles of solar power generation and examples of heat utilization. The research methods of using phase-change materials to modify the temperature of solar pavement and asphalt pavement are reviewed. It summarizes the progress of materials in pavement application and prospects the future development trend of solar pavement.

不可再生资源的消耗使地球的资源危机日益突出。可再生能源太阳能越来越受欢迎。高速公路占据了很大的表面积，因此成为开发和利用太阳能的极好载体。太阳能路面和沥青路面是使用太阳能的两种最常见方法。相变材料（PCM）利用自身的潜热使沥青能够在恒定条件下吸收或释放大量热量，以调节路面温度。基于这些问题，本文比较了太阳能路面和沥青路面的发展。它还介绍了太阳能发电的原理和热利用的例子。综述了利用相变材料改变太阳能路面和沥青路面温度的研究方法。总结了材料在路面应用中的进展，并展望了太阳能路面的未来发展趋势。
