Abstract: A family of easily recoverable magnetic and thermally responsive composite materials, with nanoscale dimensions, were synthesized by a rapid and simple solvothermal approach. The synthesis was thermally activated, accelerated, and controlled using a coaxial antenna to directly apply the microwave energy inside the solvothermal reactor. The composite materials were made up by a confined phosphorylated nanoreactor, namely halloysite nanotubes grafted on the inner lumen with phosphoric acid (HNTs-(H+-PO4)), that promoted the urea hydrolysis thus favoring the formation of a local alkaline environment to catalyze the homogeneous in situ precipitation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) selectively on their inner or outer surface. Two new MW-assisted solvothermal methodologies were used: 1) in the first the solvent is directly loaded into the MW-assisted reactor together with HNTs-(H+-PO4) mechanically preloaded with iron chloride and urea in the lumen 2) in the second the synthesis is preceded by a further pre-functionalization step of the iron salt with clove essential oil (EO) as a green functionalization agent. Structural, morphological, textural, and magnetic properties were assessed by TEM, N2 physisorption, TG-FTIR, ICP, XRD, magnetic and magnetic hyperthermia measurements. The MW-assisted solvothermal deposition of IONs was fully controlled using the phosphorylated
