Modeling Li–S cells presents many challenges due to their complex mechanisms including electrochemical reactions, ionic transport, and morphology change. So far, Li–S modeling research is still at the early stages and no single Li–S model has been able to capture all aspects of a Li–S cell's complex behaviors. A useful Li–S model should at least retrieve the key features during charge and discharge qualitatively. In terms of physical mechanisms, a basic Li–S model should consider the following:
