In an example of a method for preparing a coated lithium battery component, the lithium battery component is selected from the group consisting of a porous membrane, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode. The lithium battery component is coated with a precursor. The precursor includes a mixture of an electrolyte solvent, a lithium compound, and a monomer. Coating the lithium battery component forms a precursor coating on the lithium battery component. The precursor coating on the lithium battery component is exposed to a plasma jet, which causes the polymerization of the precursor to form a polymer coating on the lithium battery component. |
