Abstract

We present soft-template encapsulation of salt hydrate phase change materials (PCMs) using modified silica particles to both stabilize emulsions and serve as initiators for organocatalyzed photoredox ATRP. The resulting core–shell structures have high core loading and are robust to thermal cycling. Critically, this strategy eliminates the need for a reagent in the core phase, thus preserving purity, and offers the ability to tailor shell composition for desired applications.
