Disclosed are a carbon dioxide absorbent composition in which an N-alkylaminoalkanol; a polyhydroxyamine-based compound; and ethylenediamine and/or diethylenetriamine are mixed, a method for preparing the same, and a method and an apparatus for carbon dioxide absorption/separation using the same. Since the carbon dioxide absorbent according to the present disclosure has superior carbon dioxide absorption capacity and remarkably lower absorbent recycling temperature as compared to the existing absorbents such as monoethanolamine, etc., total energy consumption in the capturing process can be reduced greatly. In addition, since carbon dioxide is recovered at low recycling temperature, contamination by water or absorbent vapor may be prevented.

An artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) of an anode for a secondary battery includes a first film composed of amino-functionalized, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) that is amino-functionalized by binding with polyethyleneimine present in an amount of from 1 to 50% by weight, based on total weight of the amino-functionalized, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and that is disposed in contact with an anode material to protect the anode material; and a second film comprised of amino-functionalized, multi-walled carbon nanotubes that is amino-functionalized by binding with polyethyleneimine and that is stacked on the first film. An anode of a secondary battery including the ASEI enables rapid diffusion and stable deposition of lithium to inhibit the formation of dendrites. In a secondary battery including the anode, the ASEI prevents side reactions between a lithium metal anode and the electrolyte, achieving good electrochemical stability and high Coulombic efficiency.

In a secondary battery including a separator, the improvement includes a coating layer that is disposed on the separator and that comprises a polyethyleneimine-attached carbonaceous material The secondary battery may include an adhesive buffer layer provided between the separator and the coating layer which imparts adhesion force between the separator and the coating layer. The carbonaceous material adsorbs lithium polysulfides (LiPS) in use to inhibit a shuttling reaction between the anode and the cathode, caused by the dissolution of lithium polysulfides in the electrolyte, and increases recyclability of the lithium polysulfides, resulting in improvement of life characteristics and rate characteristics of the secondary battery.

An anode includes a thin film of an anode material; and a protective layer that is formed on the thin film of the anode material, that is composed of functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles, which are lithium-terminated sulfonated metal oxide nanoparticles, and that has a thickness of 300-5000 nm. A method for manufacturing the anode includes dispersing the functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles into a dispersion medium to form a dispersion; dipping a substrate into water, and introducing the dispersion thereto so that the functionalized metal oxide nanoparticles form a self-assembled molecular film on the water surface; lifting the substrate over the water surface to transfer the self-assembled molecular film onto the substrate, thereby providing a substrate coated with a functionalized metal oxide film; and transferring the functionalized metal oxide film onto the thin film of the anode material to provide an anode coated with the functionalized metal oxide film.
