Microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) with functional shell materials such as luminescent material could endow the obtained microencapsulated PCMs (MPCMs) with improved latent heat storage properties. The PCM core in turn could protect the luminescence shell from large temperature shifting and thus improve its performance. In this work, a series of MPCMs derived from n-octadecane (ODE) core and CaF2 shell were synthesized via a self-assembly method. The effects of the preparation conditions, including the core/shell mass ratio, the dosage of the emulsifier (styrene-maleic anhydri...
