Except for the improvement enthalpy value and thermal conductivity of conventional solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCMs), expansion of additional functions other than thermal energy storage function of that has been particularly attractive. In this work, a novel self-luminous SSPCMs based polyethylene glycol have been successfully synthesized via incorporation of long afterglow luminescence (LAL) particles into SSPCMs in the absence of any isocyanates and solvents. The prepared self-luminous SSPCMs have high melting latent heats with a maximum value at 120.2 J g1, maximum encapsulation ratio of 80.6%, and a suitable phase change temperature around 28 C. Importantly, the prepared selfluminous SSPCMs with different concentrations of LAL particles can absorb and store visible light sources in the daylight but can slowly release blue light in the dark over a long time. Furthermore, the prepared self-luminous SSPCMs after thermal cycling tests and storing-releasing light energy cycling tests have preeminent thermal reliability, luminescence repeatability and chemical structure reliability for a long time practical application.
