Abstract

The first of its kind Strontium oxide–Magnesium Oxide–Indium oxide (SMI) nanocomposites were synthesized utilizing a bio-mediated method with Euphorbiatirucalli latex as a reducing agent, followed by calcination. Synthesis of SMI NCs is confirmed by Bragg reflections of SrO, MgO, and In2O3, among them peaks belonging to In2O3 are observed to be prominent. The crystallite size, and other parameters like dislocation density, strain, structural factor, and crystallinity were estimated. Due to lower surface energy and the adhesion of particles with weak forces, morphology of the surface contains a larger degree of agglomeration. The direct energy band gap was determined to be 3.18 eV. Furthermore, the PL (photoluminescence) emission spectra, CIE, and CCT coordinates strongly indicate high-intensity emission in the region of blue color. Dusting of powder reveals latent fingerprints. Synthesized SMI nanocomposite exhibits highly-resolved patterns in the form of ridges used to analyze specific latent fingerprints with clarity. Thus, the recently synthesized nanocomposite may have been used in forensics, fluorescence labeling, and blue light emission.
