Lithium sulphur (Li/S) batteries are currently receiving significant attention as an alternative power source for
zero-emission vehicles and advanced electronic devices due to the very high theoretical specific capacity of the sulphur cathode.
Here a simple 2D transient method for the simulation of thermal characteristics of a lithium/sulfur cell is developed. The method is
capable of determining the transient response of the thermal field. The heat sources associated with charging and discharging are
estimated from experimental data and used as boundary conditions, and the simulations are performed at different charge and
discharge current rates. The simulations were carried out for natural cooling.
