Investigations on partially reduced graphene oxide capped sulfur/polyaniline composite as positive electrode material for lithium-sulfur battery

Recent advances and perspectives in conductive-polymer-based composites as cathode materials for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries

“…(2) Although PANI can alleviate the problem of volume expansion during cycling, its conductivity is low; therefore, a promising research direction is to combine PANI with more conductive carbon materials, such as graphene, 213 GO, 219 and rGO. 225…”

“…The electrical conductivity of sulfur can be enhanced by introducing composites comprising PANI and graphene or its derivatives into the electrode material; the derivatives of graphene, including graphene oxide (GO), 219,220 rGO, 225 and GAs. 216 For instance, Li et al designed a novel structure with sulfur loaded on PANI–graphene nanoribbons.…”

Polyaniline modified waste‐derived graphene/sulfur nanocomposite cathode for lithium–sulfur batteries

“…It was found that volume expansion and diffusion of polysulfides could be controlled by conductive and highly flexible PANI. Three component composite containing S/PANI/partially reduced graphene oxide (prGO) was obtained by simple heat treatment method 9 . The presence of PANI and prGO layers respectively controls the lithium polysulfides dissolution event and the number of active sites and hence the composite showed good electrochemical performance.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Recently, conductive polymer/carbonaceous nanomaterial/sulfur composite based Li-S batteries have received enormous interest due to the following reasons: (i) the polymer matrix being flexible, can combat the volume changes and do not break the outer protective layer, (ii) carbonaceous nanomaterials have good electrical conductivity, mechanically robust though light-weight. [6][7][8][9] Among different conductive polymers, polyaniline (PANI) has received more importance due to its low cost, abundance, tunable conductivity and environmental friendliness. Modification of electrodes by PANI have been found in multiple researches to improved electrical conductivity as well to render the electrode flexible and reduce the amount of electrode binding material.…”
