Cooking is a daily activity in every household, which consumes energy and produces pollution. Using clean gas fuels instead of traditional solid fuels will significantly reduce household air pollution. Although the use of clean-burning burners can reduce emissions, early domestic gas cookers had poor thermal performance. Currently, even small improvements in efficiency can result in significant energy savings due to the large number of domestic gas stoves in use. There has been a long history of research into the development of domestic gas stoves to improve performance and reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, research into the use of hydrogen-enriched natural gas as a promising environmentally friendly fuel is increasing. In this paper, we perform a descriptive statistics and graphical visualization of network analysis by combining common databases with Bibliometrix. We also analyze the energy balance of domestic gas stoves and the influence of a single factor and multiple factors on stove performance. Then we provide a detailed overview of some research technologies in enhancing the thermal performance of gas stoves. We also discuss the research progress and application prospects for the use of hydrogen-enriched natural gas as a fuel in domestic gas stoves and identify areas for future research and issues that need attention.
