Abstract
The article focuses on the cost-effective and high-quality non-destructive template-assisted magnetic mesoporous iron nanomaterial for latent Fingerprint examination (LFPs). The iron nanomaterial is synthesized using the CTAB template by the co-precipitation method. The synthesized nanomaterial is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 sorption- Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), EDX elemental mapping, Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), UV–Visible spectroscopy, and XPS. The N2 sorption showed that the synthesized material is mesoporous with an H1 hysteresis loop. The TEM images showed the spherical shape and particle size to be around 55–65 nm. The VSM analysis successfully established its ferromagnetic nature. The synthesized nanomaterial showed excellent magnetic recovery after its utilization and retained fingerprints for 2–3 months with the same resolution. We collected the fingerprint on both non-porous and non-porous surfaces with better-developed ridges of fingerprints compared to conventional fingerprinting dyes (charcoal).
