  "textContent": "A lithium ion battery may comprise a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a separator coated with a thin film of lithium metal, the thickness of the lithium being less than or equal to a thickness sufficient to compensate for the irreversible loss of lithium during the first cycle of the battery. Furthermore, there may be a ceramic layer on the separator between the separator and the lithium metal thin film. Yet furthermore, there may be a barrier layer between the ceramic layer and the lithium metal thin film, wherein the barrier layer blocks Li dendrite formation. Furthermore, the separator may have pores which may be filled with one or more of a lithium ion-conducting polymer, a binder soluble in a liquid electrolyte, and a lithium ion-conducting ceramic material. Methods of, and equipment for, fabricating such battery separators and also for fabricating components for lithium metal based batteries are described.",
