Lithium-ion batteries have become essential to modern energy storage technologies, supporting a wide range of applications from portable electronics to electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage systems. However, their energy density is fundamentally constrained by the low specific capacity of graphite anodes (372 mAh g−1). As graphite-based anodes approach their theoretical limits, lithium metal has emerged as a promising alternative due to its ultrahigh capacity (3,860 mAh g−1) and the lowest electrochemical potential (−3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Despite these advantages, its practical application remains hindered by dendritic growth, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and limited cycling reversibility. This review presents a comprehensive overview of lithium metal anode development, beginning with upstream resource extraction and refinement from brine, hard-rock, and sedimentary sources. Subsequently, we classify fabrication strategies into six categories: mechanical processing, vapor-phase deposition, molten lithium infusion, electrochemical deposition, composite-based strategies, and anode-free designs. To guide the fabrication approaches, we construct a comparative matrix that correlates lithium efficiency with manufacturability, thereby enabling the integration of lithium metal anodes into scalable and commercially relevant battery architectures.
