A method for maximizing the interfacial properties of magnetoresistive sensors, such as spin valve and GMR sensors used in storage devices, comprises selecting the materials for ferromagnetic layers and for electrically conductive spacers that are interposed between the ferromagnetic layers. The electronegativities of the selected materials are substantially matched so that an absolute value of the differences in electronegativities is minimized. The conductive spacer material provides a relatively low resistivity and a large mean free path. The sensors experience greater chemical and thermal stability, are corrosion resistant, and realize an increased signal output.

Provided is a method for fabricating a metal oxide thin film in which a metal oxide generated by a chemical reaction between a first reactant and a second reactant is deposited on the surface of a substrate as a thin film. The method involves introducing a first reactant containing a metal-organic compound into a reaction chamber including a substrate; and introducing a second reactant containing alcohol. Direct oxidation of a substrate or a deposition surface is suppressed by a reactant gas during the deposition process, as it uses alcohol vapor including no radical oxygen as a reactant gas for the deposition of a thin film. Also, since the thin film is deposited by the thermal decomposition, which is caused by the chemical reaction between the alcohol vapor and a precursor, the deposition rate is fast. Particularly, the deposition rate is also fast when a metal-organic complex with β-diketone ligands is used as a precursor. Further, a thin film with low leakage current can be obtained as the metal oxide thin film fabrication method using a chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition method grows a thin film with fine microstructure.

The electrolyte uses a eutectic mixture in combination with an additive reduced in advance of the eutectic mixture upon the initial charge to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer. Therefore, the electrolyte can solve the problem of electrolyte decomposition occurring when using a eutectic mixture alone as an electrolyte for a battery, and thus can prevent degradation of the quality of a battery.

Catalytic pyrolysis can upcycle waste, e.g., car bumpers, to carbon nanomaterials, preferably using synthetic TiO₂ nanoparticles as catalyst during pyrolysis. Analysis of the carbon nanomaterials shows that, while RGO is produced from thermal pyrolysis of car bumper waste absent TiO₂, RGO spotted with carbon dots is produced in presence of TiO₂ catalyst. Rutile to anatase TiO₂ phase transformation and carbon nanomaterial formation can simultaneously occur during the pyrolysis. Anatase to rutile transformation may occur while TiO₂ absent the bumper material. Such TiO₂-CD-RGO can be used, for example in photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds, such as methylene blue.
