[PMID: 39047649 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Fluorescence sensing of latent fingerprints (LFPs) has gained extensive attention due to its high sensitivity, non-destructive testing, low biotoxicity, ease of operation, and the potential for in situ visualization. However, the realization of in situ visualization of LFPs especially with green emission and rapid speed is still a challenge. Herein, we synthesized an amphibious green-emission AIE-gen TPE-NI-AOH (PLQY = 62%) for instant in situ LFP detecting, which integrates the excellent fluorescence properties of naphthalimide (NI) with a hydrophilic head and the AIE character as well as the donating property of tetraphenylethene (TPE). TPE-NI-AOH in ethanol/water binary solvent was used as an environmentally friendly LFP developer and achieved in situ green-fluorescence visualization of LFPs. The fluorescence signal achieves its 60% saturated intensity in 0.37 s and nearly 100% in 2.50 s, which is an instant process for the naked eye. Moreover, level 3 details and super-resolution images of LFPs could be observed clearly. Besides, the TPE-NI-AOH developer could be stored for at least 6 months, suitable for long-term storage. This instant in situ highlighting method does not require post-processing operations, providing a more convenient, rapid, and efficient detection method of LFPs. This work would inspire the further advancement of fluorescent sensors for fingerprint imaging.

Abstract
Quaternary phosphonium salts, a significant category of organophosphorus compounds, have garnered substantial attention from chemists due to their wide range of applications across various research areas. These compounds are utilized in organic synthesis, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, natural materials, and coordination chemistry. Their versatility and effectiveness in these fields make them valuable tools in scientific research. Despite their extensive use in various applications, the potential of quaternary phosphonium compounds as fluorescent agents for revealing latent fingerprints (LFPs) remains largely unexplored, presenting an exciting opportunity for further research and development in forensic science. In this study, we designed molecules that combine the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) chromophore with triphenylphosphine to create a series of novel AIE amphiphiles, namely TPP1, TPP2, and TPP3. Through precise adjustment of the carbon chain length between the phenoxy group and the terminal triphenylphosphine, we were able to finely tune the nanostructures and hydrophobicity of the materials. TPP3 emerged as the optimal candidate, possessing the ideal particle size and hydrophobicity to effectively bind to LFPs, thus enabling efficient fingerprint visualization with enhanced fluorescence upon aggregation. Our findings introduce an innovative approach to fingerprint visualization, offering high selectivity, superior imaging of level 3 structures, and long-term effectiveness (up to 30 days). Additionally, TPP3's outstanding performance in imaging level 3 structures of LFPs is beneficial for analyzing incomplete LFPs and identifying individuals. By significantly improving the detection and analysis of LFPs, this approach ensures more accurate and reliable identification, making it invaluable for forensic investigations and security measures. The adaptability of these compounds to various fingerprint surfaces highlights their potential in diverse practical applications, enhancing their utility in both forensic science and security fields. This versatility allows for precise fingerprint visualization across different scenarios, making them a critical tool for advancing biometric and security technologies.

Abstract
For over a century, fingerprints have served as a pivotal tool for identification of individuals owing to their enduring characteristics and easily apparent features, particularly in the realm of criminal investigations. Latent fingerprints (LFPs) are "invisible fingerprints" that are most commonly available at crime scenes and require a rapid, selective, sensitive, and convenient method for detection. However, existing fingerprint development techniques harbour limitations, prompting the exploration of novel approaches that prioritize investigator safety and environmental sustainability. Leveraging the unique photophysical properties of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has emerged as a promising strategy for on-site analysis of LFP visualization. In this highlight, we have presented a comparative analysis of various AIEgens (organic compounds, metal complexes, nanoparticles, and polymers) for the development and detection of LFPs. Through this examination, insights into the efficiency and potential applications of AIE-based fingerprint development techniques are provided. In addition, several strategies have been proposed for circumventing the limitations of existing AIEgens. We hope that this highlight article will encourage more researchers to investigate AIEgens in LFP detection, contributing to forensic science.

Abstract
The fabrication of supramolecular light-harvesting systems (LHS) with sequential energy transfer is of significance in utilizing light energy. In this study, we report the non-covalent self-assembly of a sequential LHS by pillar[5]arene-based host-guest interaction in water and its applications in white light-emitting diode (LED) device and latent fingerprint imaging. The host-guest complex WP5 ⊃ ${ \supset }$ G self-assembles into nanoparticles in water and shows enhanced aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. The nanoparticles can be further used to construct sequential LHS with fluorescent dyes 4,7-di(2-thienyl)-benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazole (DBT) and sulforhodamine 101 (SR101). Impressively, the system shows white-light emission when the molar ratio of WP5 ⊃ ${ \supset }$ G/DBT/SR101 is 1100/2/16. The material can be coated on a LED bulb to achieve white-light emission. In addition, the sequential LHS exhibit multicolor fluorescence including red emission, which have been successfully applied to high-resolution imaging of latent fingerprints. Therefore, we demonstrated a general strategy for the construction of sequential LHS in water based on macrocyclic host-guest interaction and explored its multi-functional applications in white-light LED device and imaging of latent fingerprints, which will promote future development and application of supramolecular LHSs.

Abstract
Latent fingerprint developed at the site of crime is considered as crucial physical evidence in forensic investigation. The mixed metal oxides (MXOY, M = Ba, Zn, Al, Ce) nanophosphor was synthesised by irradiating the precursor solution with 60Co gamma radiation followed by solution combustion method. The structural, morphological, optical characteristics and fingerprint imaging were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy and powder dusting method, respectively. The XRD results revealed that the average crystallite size is found to be 30 nm with the estimated bandgap of 3.18 eV. The broadband UV exited luminescence of the phosphors was observed at λMax = 330 nm. The PL spectrum shows three emission bands at 432, 444 and 460 nm that corresponds to blue regions, suggesting that the synthesised nanophosphor is a potential luminous material for latent fingerprinting and luminescent devices.

Abstract
Powder dusting method is the most widely used approach due to its low cost, simplicity, minimal instrument dependence, and extensive applicability for developing latent fingerprints (LFPs). Herein, a novel optical and electrochemical dual-mode method for high-resolution LFP enhancement has been explored based on size-tunable polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Dark PDAs rich in functional groups and negative charges can combine with the residues of LFPs on various surfaces with high sensitivity and selectivity to realize high-resolution visual fingerprint physical patterns on various porous and nonporous substrates with light color. However, optical visualization is not feasible for LFPs on dark or multicolored surfaces. Fortunately, based on the differences in electrochemical reactivity between ridges and furrows caused by the conductivity and reducibility of PDA powders, SECM can serve as a powerful supplement to optical methods to effectively overcome background color interference and distinctly display fingerprint patterns. Intriguingly, it is noteworthy that the binding amount and particle size of PDA powder significantly affected the optical and electrochemical visualization of LFPs: more powder binding amounts provided darker ridges in optical, and more surface reaction sites (larger powder binding mass at the same particle size or smaller particle size at the same mass) provided higher currents of ridges in electrochemical imaging. It demonstrates that the PDA powder as a dual-mode developer for LFPs offers a promising method for individual identification in forensics.

Abstract
A nanostructured hybrid material based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MCM-41) functionalized with chitosan and a fluorescent dye (dansylglycine), designated MCM-41@Ch@DnsGly, was synthesized and characterized with a view to its application for the visualization of latent fingerprints. These nanoparticles were applied as latent fingerprint developers for marks on surfaces of diverse chemical composition, topography, optical characteristics, and spatially variant nature, typical of forensically challenging evidence. For quality assessment of the enhanced fingermarks, the developed images were analyzed holistically using the UK Home Office scale, forensic protocols and, in terms of their constituent features (minutiae), using forensic software. Across a substantive collection of marks deposited on chemically diverse surfaces and subject to complex environmental and temporal histories, 94% of the enhanced images presented sufficient minutiae for comparison with model dactyloscopy images. This novel nanomaterial presents enhanced performance with significant promise for superior exploitation by forensic practitioners in the acquisition and analysis of crime scene evidence.

Abstract
The crystal violet (CV) staining technique represents a prevalent approach for the development of latent fingerprints, especially on adhesive tape surfaces. Nevertheless, the technique necessitates intricate formulations to augment its performance. In this investigation, an optimized CV staining protocol was developed, characterized by the absence of residual dye on the target substrates and the capability of facilitating fingerprint visualization under ambient light conditions. Four donors, comprising two males and two females, deposited natural fingerprints on various substrates, including glass microscope slides, aluminum foil, and 115 g glossy coated paper, without any specific guidelines. Fingerprints developed using cyanoacrylate fuming served as benchmarks and were contrasted with those generated through alternative methods: CV, ardrox, rhodamine 6G, powdering, and the optimized CV staining protocol. The fingerprint development experiment was replicated at seven distinct time intervals, encompassing 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, resulting in a dataset of 420 fingerprints. The evaluation of fingerprint identifiability employed a scoring system established by the Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology. The results indicated that the optimized CV staining technique demonstrated superior performance, boasting a 92.9% rate of identifiable fingerprint development in contrast to other employed methodologies. Consequently, this optimized CV staining approach is recommended as an efficient, rapid, and straightforward critical dyeing method, applicable to a wide array of substrates in forensic investigations.

Abstract
The present communication reports on the synthesis of a novel methyl-pyridone azo fluorescent tag (MPAFT) were proven through 1H (NMR), FT-IR, UV-vis, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The quantum chemical parameters of MPAFT were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) analysis. It was further investigated for its latent fingerprint (LFPs) in various surfaces and anticounterfeiting applications. By exposing Level I-Level III, ridge features to UV light with a wavelength of 365 nm, a bioimaging investigation has also demonstrated the potential of MPAFT's emission behaviour. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) at MPAFT/MGCE (modified glassy carbon electrode) were used to explore the electrochemical sensitivity and reliable detection of dopamine (DA) in neutral PBS (pH 7) electrolyte solution, and the results show good sensitivity and detection. The lower detection limit for LSV was 0.81 μM under optimum conditions.

Abstract
Latent fingerprints (LFPs) is one of the most important physical evidence in the criminal scene, playing an important role in forensic investigations. Therefore, developing highly sensitive and convenient materials for the visualization of LFPs is of great significance. We designed and synthesized an organic fluorescent molecule TP-PH with aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) activity. By simply soaking, blue fluorescent images with high contrast and resolution are readily developed on various surfaces including tinfoil, steel, glass and plastic. Remarkably, LFPs can be visualized within 5 min including the first-, second- and tertiary-level details. In addition, TP-PH exhibits interesting photoactivated fluorescence enhancement properties. Under irradiation of 365 nm UV light with a power density of 382 mW/cm2, the fluorescence quantum yield displays approximately 21.5-fold enhancement. Mechanism studies reveals that the photoactivated fluorescence is attributed to the irreversible cyclodehydrogenation reactions under UV irradiation. This work provides a guideline for the design of multifunctional AIEE fluorescent materials.

Abstract
Rapid visualization of latent fingerprints, preferably at their point of origin, is essential for effective crime scene evaluation. Here, we present a new class of green fluorescent protein chromophore-based fluorescent dyes (LFP-Yellow and LFP-Red) that can be used for real-time visualization of LFPs within 10 s. Compared with traditional chemical reagents for LFPs, these fluorescent dyes are completely water-soluble, exhibit low cytotoxicity, and are harmless to users. Level 1-3 details of the LFPs could be clearly revealed through "off-on" fluorescence signal readout. Additionally, the fluorescent dyes were constructed based on an imidazolinone core and so do not contain pyridine groups or metal ions, which ensures that the DNA is not contaminated during extraction and identification after the LFPs are treated with the dyes. Combined with our as-developed portable system for capturing LFPs, LFP-Yellow and LFP-Red enabled the rapid capture of LFPs. Therefore, these green fluorescent protein chromophore-based probes provide an approach for the rapid identification of individuals who were present at a crime scene.

Heliyon 2023; 9:e22794. [PMID: 38058441 PMCID: PMC10696211 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Fluorescent lighting and optical techniques have been widely utilized to enhance the detection of latent fingerprints. However, the development of new techniques is imperative to expand the range of surfaces from which latent fingerprints can be detected. When relying on traditional methods, fingerprint evidence can remain undetected or even disregarded due to insufficient detection and limited detail, especially when dealing with a luminescent background. In this study, we propose the utilization of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) applied to a Ba2SiO4 matrix, co-doped with Eu2+ and Dy3+, as a powerful method for visualizing latent fingerprints on various surfaces, including thin plastic bags, rigid duct tape, thin aluminum foil, and glass slices. This technique effectively eliminates any luminescent background and significantly enhances optical imaging. This represents the first successful application of OSL in the development of latent fingerprints, thus paving the way for more efficient and effective forensic techniques in the future.

Abstract
The exploration of multifunctional materials and intelligent technologies used for fluorescence sensing and latent fingerprint (LFP) identification is a research hotspot of material science. In this study, an emerging crystalline luminescent material, Eu3+-functionalized hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Eu@HOF-BTB, Eu@1), is fabricated successfully. Eu@1 can emit purple red fluorescence with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 36.82%. Combined with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms including support vector machine, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering analysis, Eu@1 as a sensor can concurrently distinguish two carcinogens, roxarsone and aristolochic acid, based on different mechanisms. The sensing process exhibits high selectivity, high efficiency, and excellent anti-interference. Meanwhile, Eu@1 is also an excellent eikonogen for LFP identification with high-resolution and high-contrast. Based on an automatic fingerprint identification system, the simultaneous differentiation of two fingerprint images is achieved. Moreover, a simulation experiment of criminal arrest is conducted. By virtue of the Alexnet-based fingerprint analysis platform of AI, unknown LFPs can be compared with a database to identify the criminal within one second with over 90% recognition accuracy. With AI technology, HOFs are applied for the first time in the LFP identification field, which provides a new material and solution for investigators to track criminal clues and handle cases efficiently.

Abstract
Latent fingerprints are a significant carrier of information for a court expert. To detect this type of forensic trace, what is necessary is a method that is easy to use, compact, and versatile. The research aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of luminescent substances of donor-π-acceptor systems in terms of their potential use in detecting hidden fingerprints. During the research, a group of fluorene compounds consisting of the (-CH=C(CN)(COOR)) moiety was designed and successfully synthesized. The optical, electrochemical, and aggregation-induced emission properties were studied. The aggregation-induced emission of compounds has been studied in the mixture of THF (as a good solvent) and water (as a poor solvent) with different water fractions ranging from 0% to 99%. Due to the molecular structure, substances showed different affinities to organic traces. As a result, it was noticed that all compounds showed the AIE phenomenon, while during tests on latent fingerprints, it was observed that two substances had particularly forward-looking features in this field.

Abstract
Latent fingerprint (LFP) powders are crucial in the detection of LFPs in forensic science. However, it is often plagued by poor image resolution and low contrast. Herein, enhanced LFP fluorescence (FL) visualizations are achieved by doping Eu(III) coordination compound Eu(TTA)3phen directly into SiO2 microspheres instead of Eu(III) ions. Using the synthesized Eu(TTA)3phen-SiO2 microspheres, the fine characteristic structure of LFP can be seen and recognized under 365 nm irradiation, up to Level 3. However, the Eu3+-SiO2 microspheres were difficult to recognize the Level 2,3 fingerprint structure. The difference between the ridge and furrow gray values of Eu(TTA)3phen-SiO2 microspheres is 2.1 times that of Eu3+-SiO2 microspheres. The coordination effect increased the asymmetry around Eu(III) ions, resulting in the ultrasensitive 5D0→7F2 transition, thus increasing the FL intensity, and the uniform doping of the Eu(III) coordination compound into SiO2 also reduced the surface FL quenching due to shielding from oxygen. Under this dual effect, the LFP performance of Eu(TTA)3phen-SiO2 microspheres has been significantly improved. We believe that this novel and easy LFP visualization method is a promising routine in specific target detection including criminal investigation, customhouse check-in, and drug control.

Abstract
Intracellular RNA imaging with organic small molecular probes has been an intense topic, although the number of such reported dyes, particularly dyes with high quantum yields and long wavelength excitation/emission, is quite limited. The present work reports the design and synthesis of three cationic julolidine-azolium conjugates (OX-JLD, BTZ-JLD and SEZ-JLD) as turn-on fluorescent probes with appreciably high quantum yields and brightness upon interaction with RNA. A structure-efficiency relationship has been established for their potential for the interaction and imaging of intracellular RNA. Given their chemical structure, the free rotation between the donor and the acceptor gets restricted when the probes bind with RNA resulting in strong fluorescence emission towards a higher wavelength upon photoexcitation. A detailed investigation revealed that the photophysical properties and the optical responses of two probes, viz. BTZ-JLD and SEZ-JLD, towards RNA are very promising and qualify them to be suitable candidates for biological studies, particularly for cellular imaging applications. The probes allow imaging of intracellular RNA with prominent staining of nucleoli in live cells under a range of physiological conditions. The results of the cellular digest test established the appreciable RNA selectivity of BTZ-JLD and SEZ-JLD inside the cellular environment. Moreover, a comparison between the relative intensity profile of SEZ-JLD before and after the RNA-digestion test inside the cellular environment indicated that the interference of cellular viscosity in fluorescence enhancement is insignificant, and hence, SEZ-JLD can be used as a cell membrane permeable cationic molecular probe for deep-red imaging of intracellular RNA with a good degree of selectivity.

Abstract
The removal of toxic heavy metals from wastewater through the use of novel adsorbents is expensive. The challenge arises after the heavy metal is removed by the adsorbent, and the fate of the adsorbent is not taken care of. This may create secondary pollution. The study aimed to prepare mesoporous carbon (MC) from macadamia nutshells coated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) using a hydrothermal method to remove Pb2+ and to test the effectiveness of reusing the lead-loaded spent adsorbent (Pb2+-MC/TiO2 NP nanocomposite) in blood fingerprint detection. The samples were characterized using SEM, which confirmed spherical and flower-like structures of the nanomaterials, whereas TEM confirmed a particle size of 5 nm. The presence of functional groups such as C and Ti and a crystalline size of 4 nm were confirmed by FTIR and XRD, respectively. The surface area of 1283.822 m2/g for the MC/TiO2 NP nanocomposite was examined by BET. The removal of Pb2+ at pH 4 and the dosage of 1.6 g/L with the highest percentage removal of 98% were analyzed by ICP-OES. The Langmuir isotherm model best fit the experimental data, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the MC/TiO2 NP nanocomposite was 168.919 mg/g. The adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The ΔH° (-54.783) represented the exothermic nature, and ΔG° (-0.133 to -4.743) indicated that the adsorption process is spontaneous. In the blood fingerprint detection, the fingerprint details were more visible after applying the Pb2+-MC/TiO2 NP nanocomposite than before the application. The reuse application experiments showed that the Pb2+-MC/TiO2 NP nanocomposite might be a useful alternative material for blood fingerprint enhancement when applied on nonporous surfaces, eliminating secondary pollution.

Abstract
The synthesis, structural characterization, exfoliation, and photophysical studies of two-dimensional (2-D) lanthanide phosphonates, named Ln(m-pbc); [Ln(m-Hpbc)(m-H2pbc)(H2O)] (Ln = Eu, Tb; m-pbc = 3-phosphonobenzoic acid) based on the phosphonocarboxylate ligand, are reported. These compounds are neutral polymeric 2D layered structures with pendent uncoordinated carboxylic groups between layers. The nanosheets were obtained by a top-down strategy involving sonication-assisted solution exfoliation and characterized by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscropy, showing lateral dimensions from nano- to micro-meter scales, and thicknesses down to several layers. The photoluminescence studies demonstrate that the m-pbc ligand acts as an efficient antenna toward Eu and Tb(III) ions. The emission intensities of dimetallic compounds are clearly enhanced after incorporation of Y(III) ions due to the dilution effect. Ln(m-pbc)s were then applied for labelling latent fingerprints. It is worth noting that the reaction between active carboxylic groups and fingerprint residues benefits the labelling, showing efficient imaging for fingerprints on all kinds of material surfaces.

Abstract
A facile and high-resolution enhancement of latent fingerprints (LFPs) has been developed by using a wet nitrocellulose (NC) membrane as a matrix under natural light. A clear fingerprint pattern was presented on the membrane after a fingertip touch owing to the difference in light transmittance between the ridge residues and the wet-NC-membrane background. Compared with conventional methods, this protocol can provide a higher resolution fingerprint image to extract level 3 details accurately. It is also compatible with commonly used fingerprint visualization techniques (magnetic ferric oxide powder and AgNO3. The modified membrane could be more general to realize the high-resolution visualization of LFP transferred from various substrates, even independent of light projection. Due to the excellent feasibility and reproducibility of level 3 details extracted by the wet NC membrane, the frequency distribution of the distance between adjacent sweat pores (FDDasp) could be used to effectively distinguish the fragmentary fingerprints. Finally, the level 3 features of LFPs from females and males were conveniently extracted by the wet-NC-membrane method for gender identification. The statistical results indicated that females had a higher average sweat pore density (115/9 mm2) than males (84/9 mm2). Taken together, this approach provided a high-resolution, reproducible, and accurate imaging of LFPs, which shows great promise for forensic information analysis.

Abstract
Organic luminescent materials that can simultaneously achieve multimode mechanochromism and its water-vapor-induced recovery are desirable for practical applications but rarely reported. Herein, an amphiphilic compound, 4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (CPAB), is designed by integrating a lipophilic aromatic unit and hydrophilic end in the molecular architecture. Self-recovered mechanochromism from brown to cyan is observed upon mechanical grinding in air. Comprehensive research by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal analysis reveals that the photoluminescence switch originates from the variation in intermolecular hydrogen bonds and molecular packing mode. The amphiphilic nature of CPAB allows water molecules to enter the crystalline lattice, forming two polymorphs of the crystalline phase, namely CPAB-D and CPAB-W. The hydrosoluble CPAB exhibits excellent capability in probing the level 3 details of fingerprints because its lipophilic part can target the fatty acid residues of fingerprints, leading to strong aggregation-induced fluorescence. The research may inspire the design of latent fingerprint developers and application in forensics/anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) possess the remarkable ability to convert multiple near-infrared (NIR) photons into higher energy ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) photons, making them a prime candidate for several advanced applications within the realm of nanotechnology. Compared to traditional organic fluorophores and quantum dots (QDs), UCNPs possess narrower emission bands (fwhm of 10-50 nm), large anti-Stokes shifts, low toxicity, high chemical stability, and resistance to photobleaching and blinking. In addition, unlike UV-vis excitation, NIR excitation is nondestructive at lower power intensities and has high tissue penetration depths (up to 2 mm) with low autofluorescence and scattering. Together, these properties make UCNPs exceedingly favored for advanced bioanalytical and theranostic applications, where these systems have been well-explored. UCNPs are also well-suited for bioimaging, optically modulating chemistries, forensic science, and other state-of-the-art research applications. In this review, an up-to-date account of emerging applications in UCNP research, beyond bioanalytical and theranostics, are presented including optogenetics, super-resolution imaging, encoded barcodes, fingerprinting, NIR vision, UCNP-assisted photochemical manipulations, optical tweezers, 3D printing, lasing, NIR-II imaging, UCNP-molecule nanohybrids, and UCNP-based persistent luminescent nanocrystals.

Abstract
Forensic science is currently fast-growing for the development detection of the latent fingerprint. Currently, chemical dust quickly enters the body through touch or inhalation and will be affected by the user. In this research, a study on the comparison of natural powder from four species of medicinal plants (Zingiber montanum, Solanum Indicum L., Rhinacanthus nasutus, and Euphorbia tirucall) for the detection of latent fingerprints is carried out that has fewer adverse effects on the user's body by using such natural substances instead. In addition, the fluorescence properties of the dust have been found in some natural powder for sample detection and appear on multi-colored surfaces to show that the latent fingerprints are more pronounced than ordinary dust. In this study, medicinal plants have also been applied to detect cyanide, as it has been known that it is hazardous for humans and can be used as a poisonous compound to kill someone. The characteristics of each powder have also been analyzed using naked-eye detection under UV light, Fluorescence spectrophotometer, FIB-SEM, and FTIR. All the powder obtained can then be used for high potential detection of latent fingerprints on the non-porous surface with their specific characteristics and trace amounts of cyanide using turn-on-off fluorescent sensing method.

Abstract
Fingerprints are important biological details and play an important role in identifying personal information. To assist the identification of latent fingerprints (LFPs) which are the frequently-met cases in practical application, LFPs are usually made visible/detectable by development (imaging) techniques. In this work, an amphiphilic probe (denoted as HNP) was designed and synthesized. Its amphiphilic nature was confirmed by its single crystal structure and lipid-water partition coefficient (P = 1.38). It showed good solubility in water and bright red AIE (aggregation-induced emission) emission upon visible light excitation (∼410 nm), which satisfied the requirements for LFPs development/imaging. Photophysical parameters (absorption spectrum, emission spectrum, and emission quantum yield), LFPs imaging performance and bio-safety of probe HNP were discussed and reported. It was found that HNP showed efficient AIE effect in aggregated state. After meeting the lipids in LFPs, HNP AIE effect was activated, showing emission "turn-on" phenomenon and LFPs pattern. This mechanism was confirmed by micromorphology analysis. Corresponding dynamics were discussed as well. Good stability and durability were observed for HNP development/imaging. Details down to level 3 were successfully retrieved with high contrast.

Abstract
Detection and recognition of latent fingerprints play crucial roles in identification and security. However, the separation of sensor, memory, and processor in conventional ex-situ fingerprint recognition system seriously deteriorates the latency of decision-making and inevitably increases the overall computing power. In this work, a photoelectronic reservoir computing (RC) system, consisting of DUV photo-synapses and nonvolatile memristor array, is developed to detect and recognize the latent fingerprint with in-sensor and parallel in-memory computing. Through the Ga-rich design, we achieve amorphous GaOx (a-GaOx) photo-synapses with an enhanced persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect. The PPC effect, which induces nonlinearly tunable conductivity, renders the a-GaOx photo-synapses an ideal deep ultraviolet (DUV) photoelectronic reservoir, thus mapping the complex input vector into a dimensionality-reduced output vector. Connecting the reservoirs and a memristor array, we further construct an in-sensor RC system for latent fingerprint identification. The system maintains over 90% recognition accuracy for latent fingerprint within 15% stochastic noise level via the proposed dual-feature strategy. This work provides a subversive prototype system of DUV in-sensor RC for highly efficient recognition of latent fingerprints.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have been widely used in biomedical fields because of their superior optical properties, high sensitivity and high selectivity to specific substances. However, there are few studies on trace detection of the ethanol content in aqueous solution using CDs. Herein, novel red fluorescent CDs with dual emission are synthesized and show good dispersibility in various solvents and excitation independence of photoluminescence (PL). After investigating the structure and properties of the red CDs, a multifunctional fluorescent nanoprobe based on the red CDs with high-sensitivity detection for dual-ion trace detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ can be successfully constructed. The limit of detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ can be up to 0.024 μM and 0.036 μM, respectively, which is superior to that in previous reports. Meanwhile, in view of the specific solvent effect on their PL, the red CDs are able to be applied for trace detection of the ethanol content in aqueous solution. The methods of colorimetry and fluorescence spectrometry are utilized to perform the threshold test and high-sensitivity quantitative analysis of the ethanol content in aqueous solution. Based on this, a multifunctional fluorescent nanoprobe based on the dual-emission red CDs can be obtained, which provides a promising way for their applications in detection and sensing fields.

Abstract
In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Magnolia Grandiflora flower as a carbon precursor were obtained using a hydrothermal method under the optimized conditions affected by various heating times (14, 16, 18, and 20 min) and various electric power inputs (900-1400 W). Then, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was added to dope the CQDs under the same manner. The aqueous solution of the S-CQDs were characterized by FTIR, XPS, EDX/SEM, and TEM, with nanoparticle size at around 4 nm. Then, the as-prepared S-CQDs were successfully applied with fine corn starch for detection of minutiae latent fingerprints on non-porous surface materials. It is demonstrated that the minutiae pattern is more clearly seen under commercial UV lamps with a bright blue fluorescence intensity. Therefore, this research has proved that the S-CQDs derived from plant material have a better potential as fluorescent probes for latent fingerprint detection.

Abstract
The blood fingerprint enhancement is not so eye-catching as latent fingerprint development in forensic community, but it is indeed an important piece of evidence for personal identification, forensic analysis and even reconstruction of crime scenes. In over past ten years, novel reagents, advanced materials and emerging techniques have growingly participated in blood fingerprint enhancement, which not only leads to a higher level of developing sensitivity, selectivity and contrast, but also endows blood impressions with more forensic significance. This review summarizes recent advances in conventional chemical reagents targeting at heme, protein and amino acid as well as emerging enhancement techniques based on advanced materials, new equipment or methods. Some critical issues in forensic science are also discussed, including partial blood fingerprint enhancement, false positive of developing reagents, the compatibility of blood enhancement technique and DNA, fingerprint age determination, and so on. Finally, we have proposed several urgent problems to be solved and the prospects of some promising techniques were proposed in the field of blood fingerprint enhancement in future work.

Abstract
Instant visualization of latent fingerprints is developed by using a series of water-soluble terpyridine zinc complexes as aggregation-induced emission probes in pure water, under UV light or ambient sunlight. By simply soaking, or spraying with an aqueous solution of the probe, bright yellow fluorescence images with high contrast and resolution are readily developed on various surfaces including tinfoil, glass, paper, steel, leather, and ceramic tile. Remarkably, latent fingerprints can be visualized within seconds including details of whorl and sweat pores. The color of emission can be tuned from blue to orange by modifying the pincer ligands, allowing direct imaging under sunlight. These inexpensive, water-resistant, and color-tunable probes provide a practical approach for latent fingerprints recording and analysis, security protection, as well as criminal investigation in different scenarios.

Abstract
The efficient development of latent fingerprint (LFP) is attractively important for criminal investigation. The low-cost and high-contrast developer is still a challenge. In this study, we designed and synthesized dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) derivatives PZ-DCM and Boc-PZ-DCM by introducing of large steric hindrance group Boc, the solid-state fluorescence of DCM derivatives was greatly enhanced. The low-cost fluorescent LFP developers were prepared by blending with different proportion of montmorillonite (MMT). As a result, clear and high contrast fingerprint patterns were obtained with dusting method by the developer with 3% content of Boc-PZ-DCM. Furthermore, we employed the developer with 3% content of Boc-PZ-DCM to develop the sweat latent fingerprints on different substrates by powder dusting, and collected clear fingerprint patterns, indicating that the developer is universal. In a word, the Boc-PZ-DCM/MMT powder is a promising candidate for LFP developer.

Abstract
The discovery of X-ray-charged persistent luminescence (PersL) in fluoride nanoparticles enables these materials to emit photons without real-time excitation, which provides a great possibility for the development of new luminescent nanotechnologies. In this work, we developed NaLuF4:Mn nanoparticles with intense green PersL and functionalized surfaces and accordingly achieved time-gated imaging of latent fingerprints (LFPs) with Level 3 details. These surface-modified NaLuF4:Mn nanoparticles exhibited near-spherical morphology, long-lasting emission for several hours, appropriate trap depth distribution, and tight chemical bonding with amino acids from fingerprints, thus greatly improving the accuracy of LFP imaging in a variety of environments. The developed NaLuF4:Mn PersL nanoparticles are expected to find broad applications in the fields of LFP imaging and in vivo biological imaging.

Abstract
Fingerprint-inspired elastomeric grating meta-skin (EGMS) is herein fabricated to investigate the chirality of fingerprints. The EGMS is made by a facile nanoimprinting method with a diffraction grating as a template using polydimethylsiloxane, followed by gold deposition. The chirality of the surface is caused by symmetry breaking, induced by the pattern (P) and curvature (T). Furthermore, the chiroptical properties of EGMS are reconfigurable through the control of the skew angle (θ), which is the angle between P and T. The chiroptical properties of a fingerprint are also shown and interpreted in this perspective. On the basis of the results, we suggest the strategy to impart chirality on the surface, which is reconfigurable by controlling P and T. It will be a useful method to produce chirality in membranes, thin films, metasurfaces, and 2D nanomaterials, as well as advance biometric recognition.

Abstract
Rationally developing an intelligent tool for high-contrast fluorescence imaging of latent fingerprints (LFPs) is gaining much concern in many applications such as medical diagnostics and forensic investigations. Herein, the off-on fluorescent polymer micelles (PMs) have been rationally designed and synthesized for high-contrast fluorescence imaging of LFPs through the cross-linking reaction of hydrazine (N2H4) and aldehyde group of polymer. Excitingly, the cross-linking (N2H4) induced emission of PMs has the property of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), which could effectively address the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effects of conventional organic dyes. In addition, the cross-linking strategy can not only improve structural stability of PMs but also enhance its fluorescence brightness. The experiment results demonstrated that PMs showed high water dispersibility (100% aqueous solution), high selectivity, large Stokes shift (∼150 nm), good photostability, and excellent long-term stability. Because of the hydrophobic interaction between the PMs and fingerprint components, the PMs preferentially adhered onto the ridges of fingerprint, and then cross-linking (N2H4) induced emission properties endowed the PMs for high-contrast imaging of LFPs in different substrates, especially the levels 1-3 details of LFPs. We expect that this strategy will provide vital support for LFPs technology.

Abstract
This article explored the application of novel organic-inorganic hybrid polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) with trichromatic luminescence for the detection of latent fingerprints. The PSNPs were synthesized by encapsulated Eu(DBM)3phen, coumarin 6, and FDBT into the polystyrene nanoparticles through the swelling method and applied them to visualize latent fingerprints. The PSNPs had a spherical morphology with an average diameter of 310.7 nm, and they emitted trichromatic fluorescence (525 nm/570 nm/610 nm) under 365 nm excitation wavelength with green/yellow/red color under filters. They were less likely to aggregate, float or stain the background when treating fingerprints. The developed fingerprints with excellent clarity of ridges and contrast could be viewed, and the digital magnification of fluorescence-developed fingerprints provided more minutiae details about some regional patterns. The colorimetric and fluorescent trichromatic light could provide complementary signals without the background interference from fluorescent substrates and/or complex multicolor surfaces, which improved the applicability of fluorescent nanoparticles for fingerprints development. PSNPs are promising for the detection of latent fingerprints and practical criminal investigations with their ease of operation, eco-friendly properties, and excellent trichromatic optical performance.

Abstract
Level 3 details play essential roles in practical latent fingerprint (LFP) identification. To reliably extract reproducible and identifiable level 3 features, high-resolution images of fingerprints with adequate quality are required. Conventional methods for acquiring level 3 details often involve specific pretreatment, intricate peripheral, leading to time-consuming analysis. Herein, we simply used water to develop the sebaceous LFPs deposited on nitrocellulose (NC) membranes with only one step, and then the high-resolution (2048 pixels per inch) optical micrographs were captured to reflect the live fingertip with high fidelity. From the pictures, level 3 features, including all dimensional attributes of the ridges and pores such as number, size, location, shape, and edge contour can be extracted accurately and reproducibly. Among them, qualitative features (the structures of ridge edges) and several quantitative characteristics (the number and the relative location of sweat pores) exhibit good reproducibility. Remarkably, we proposed a new parameter termed "frequency distribution of the distance between adjacent sweat pores", short form "FDDasp", which was further proved highly identifiable in different individuals, enabling the successful distinguishment between two fragmentary fingerprints with similar level 2 structures. We believe that this methodology provides a fast and quantitative analytical paradigm for latent fingerprint identification at level 3 details.

Abstract
User-friendly fingerprint powders, namely efficient, low-cost and nontoxic ones, are always desirable for the development of latent fingerprints (LFPs). Here, we described the use of pristine graphic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C3N4 QDs) as a new kind of user-friendly fingerprint powder. The g-C3N4 QDs can be easily prepared from urea and sodium citrate precursors through low temperature solid-phase reaction. Due to their good optical properties and selective interactions with secretion residuals, the g-C3N4 QDs powders were exploited to develop LFPs on different substrates by the powder dusting technique. The LFP images on a plastic bag exhibited a high ridge and furrow contrast ratio, allowing for easy identification of level 1 - 3 details of LFPs. This work indicates that the g-C3N4 QD powders provide good performance for LFP visualization and is likely to be adopted for some applications in forensic investigations.
