AB  - Uneven and insufficient encapsulation caused by surface tension between 
      supporting and phase change materials (PCMs) can be theoretically avoided if the 
      encapsulation process co-occurs with the formation of supporting materials in the 
      same environment. Herein, for the first time, a one-pot one-step (OPOS) protocol 
      is developed for synthesizing TiO(2) -supported PCM composite, in which porous 
      TiO(2) is formed in situ in the solvent of melted PCMs and directly produces the 
      desired thermal energy storage materials with the completion of the reaction. The 
      preparation features straightforward operation and high environmental metrics 
      with no emission, requires only stirring and heating without the addition of 
      organic solvent or catalyst. Moreover, the preparation process can be easily 
      scaled-up at the laboratory. Because of the OPOS protocol and porous TiO(2) 
      inside, the as-obtained PCM composite possesses a 66.5% encapsulation ratio and 
      166.8% thermal conductivity enhancement compared to pristine unsupported PCMs, 
      with 94.7% light-to-thermal conversion efficiency and promising bacterial 
      inhibition activity without any leakage.
