In Situ Polymerization Synthesis of Ternary Sulfur/Polypyrrole/Graphene Nanosheet Cathode for Lithium/Sulfur Batteries

A novel sulfur/polypyrrole/graphene nanosheet composite (S/PPy/GNS) was synthesized and investigated as a promising cathode material. This ternary composite was prepared via in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer with nanosulfur and GNS aqueous suspension followed by heat-treatment. Scanning electronic microscopy observation revealed the formation of a highly porous structure consisting sulfur and polypyrrole coating on the GNS surface. In this composite, GNS works as nanocurrent collector and enhances the conductivity of the composite, and polypyrrole with its high adhesion ability to GNS could act as a binder to connect sulfur and GNS. The resulting S/PPy/GNS composite cathode exhibits high and stable specific discharge capacities of 991 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles at 0.1 C and good rate capability.
