Phase change materials, also known as PCMs, can capture, store, and release energy when they undergo a phase transition. One class of PCMs with relatively high latent energy storage capabilities are alkane-based waxes. These store energy upon melting and will release it again when they solidify through crystallization. To make use of this so-called latent heat is helpful for many applications, and indeed can be found, for example, in building insulation and temperature regulation materials. If, however, we would like to use this concept in a temperature-regulating fluid, we need to disperse the PCMs into a liquid, such as water, that in itself has a high heat capacity and thus the ability to store energy.
