The invention discloses a preparation method of a lithium metal anode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step one, preparing through holes on a lithium metal foil material, whereinthe diameter of the through holes is 100nm to 1mm, and the hole distance is 500nm to 1cm; step two, coating the front surface and the back surface of the lithium metal foil material after hole forming with a functional adhesive; step three, carrying out vacuum drying at 50 to 150 DEG C, thus obtaining the lithium metal anode, wherein the thickness of functional adhesive layers after drying is 100nm to 10mu m. The preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that a stable solid-state electrolyte protective layer is formed on the surface of a lithium electrode, so that dendritic growth of the lithium metal anode can be effectively inhibited, side reaction of electrolyte and metal lithium is reduced, the coulombic efficiency of a battery is remarkably improved, and the cycle life of the battery is remarkably prolonged; the prepared lithium metal anode has better environment stability, and the lithium metal anode is still safe and stable even under a high-humidity condition; the preparation method is basically consistent with a current coating technology in lithium battery industry and is simple and feasible.
