Abstract: A system for thermal energy storage is disclosed herein. The system includes an electronic device and a docking station to receive the electronic device. The electronic device contains a device thermal-energy storage material to absorb thermal energy from the electronic device. The electronic device is to thermally couple to the docking station. The docking station contains a dock thermal-energy storage material. The state transition temperature of the dock thermal-energy storage material is lower than the state transition temperature of the device thermal-energy storage material such that thermal energy is transferred from the device thermal-energy storage material to the dock thermal-energy storage material.
