The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery processing, and provides a pulping method of a positive electrode material with high specific surface area. The pulping method comprises the following steps of: S1, adding the dried positive electrode material with high specific surface area, conductive carbon black and polyvinylidene fluoride into a pulping tank, and uniformly stirring and mixing the mixture; S2, adding N-methyl pyrrolidone into the mixture according to the solid content of 70%-90%, stirring or kneading the product at a low speed under the high solid content, then gradually adding N-methyl pyrrolidone the solid content is 40%-50%, stirring continuously, then adding a surfactant, a modifier and a silane coupling agent, stirring the mixture, and gradually adding N-methyl pyrrolidone till the viscosity is 8000-10000 mPa.s; and S3, taking the slurry obtained in the step S2, carrying out high-strength mechanical dispersion, and stirring the slurry. According to the pulping method, the problems that a positive electrode material cannot be dispersed, is jelly-shaped, is low in solid content and agglomerates particles in the prior art are solved.
