title: Fabrication of multi-structure nanocarbons from carbon xerogel: a unique scaffold towards bio-imaging.
abstract: A novel route has been developed to fabricate different carbon nanostructures having individual morphology of carbon nanoparticles: nanofullerene, nanocube, nanoleaf and porous nanorods, through the combustion of carbon xerogel with nitric acid. These fabricated nanostructures exhibited bright green fluorescence under the exposure of UV light.
