Abstract Fullerenes (C60/C70) were encased in silica aerogel by sol-gel process followed by supercriticd drying technique. Visible light emission was observed from the composite under Ar+ laser (488nm) excitation at room temperature. The luminescent intensity was found to decrease whilst being red shift with the increase of the fullerene content in the composite (from 0.05 up to 2.5mol%). This can be interpreted with quantum confinement effect of fullerenes confined in networks of the nanoporous silica aerogel.
