Biocompatibility Hematite nanowires grown on the surface of microtubes are decorated with gold nanoparticles produced in situ by the use of the reducing capacity of the semiconductor on gold ions. Gold nanoparticles allow functionalization with thiolic compounds and improve the biocompatibility of the materials significantly for cell viability with respiring mitochondria.
