Nanolope

Nanolope PCM is a growing start up about novel thermal energy storage systems based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (ss-PCM) in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Phase change materials can store up to 14-times more energy per volume than typical sensible heat storage systems by a simple phase transition from liquid to solid and vice versa. In the past, ss-PCMs had, however, low mechanical stabilities, low thermal energy storage capacities and leakage problems of the liquid PCM. Our team has solved as first company these problems with the development of the novel ss-PCM called Nanolope and, thus, enables the usage of ss-PCM for a broad range of applications, such as in roofs, walls, heaters, PV-systems and in batteries. Our company is currently searching for new partners from industry to construct different prototypes for heat storage, heat to power to heat systems and for cooling applications, such as in battery systems. Our project has won several awards, such as Hugo Junkers Award 2019 and IQ Innovationspreis Mitteldeutschland Award 2020.
