Abstract

Fingerprints are crucial evidence in personal identification, categorized into three types: latent (invisible), patent (visible), and plastic (three-dimensional). To make the latent prints visible, various techniques are used like the powder method, chemical method, and different light sources. In the powder method, commercially available powders are used and are effective; however, incorporating nanoparticles enhances their effectiveness. In this study, a novel fingerprint powder is prepared through green synthesis using distilled water and sunflower extract. Subsequently, lead nitrate is added to the synthesis, resulting in the formation of PbO nanoparticles. The new powder gives good results and has longer-term durability than the commercially available powders. The newly synthesized powder demonstrated superior results and greater long-term durability compared to commercially available powders. Its nanoparticle composition allows for more precise and detailed visualization of latent fingerprints. The use of green synthesis methods promotes environmental sustainability by minimizing the dependence on hazardous chemicals employed in conventional synthesis processes. This enhanced fingerprint powder not only improves the accuracy of latent fingerprint detection but also offers a more durable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional powders. As a result, it represents a significant advancement in forensic science, providing law enforcement and forensic professionals with a more effective tool for personal identification.
