NOVELTY - Preparation of modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline-coated sulfur positive electrode involves dissolving three-dimensional graphene aerogel in deionized water, ultrasonically-processing, adding isoamyl nitrite and 4-aniline sulfonic acid, reacting, and washing and freeze-drying, dissolving the obtained sulfonated modified three-dimensional graphene in deionized water and stirring, slowly adding mixed solution formed by dissolving ammonium sulfate in hydrochloric acid solution, and adding aniline, and washing and freeze-drying, and compression-molding the obtained modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline composite material using a mold, adding elemental sulfur in the composite material, placing the composite material in a quartz tube under vacuum, heating the quartz tube at 150-160 degrees C for 9-11 hours, and cooling to room temperature. USE - Preparation of modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline-coated sulfur positive electrode used for lithium-sulfur battery. ADVANTAGE - The method enables preparation of modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline-coated sulfur positive electrode having improved mechanical strength and conductivity, and suppressed volume change in sulfur positive electrode during charging/discharging. The graphite powder is oxidized and peeled to form graphene oxide, and the three-dimensional graphene is formed by high-temperature heating and freeze-drying. The three-dimensional graphene is sulfonated, and combined with polyaniline through in-situ reaction to form modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline composite material. The elemental sulfur is coated in the modified three-dimensional graphene/polyaniline composite material by melt impregnation method, so as to realize the suppression of dissolution and shuttle of polysulfide in the electrochemical reaction.
