A dense and stable lithium deposition process is highlighted by a snowy world, where the snowflakes represent the Li ions and the branches are like the ultralight 3D copper nanowire network with a phosphidation gradient employed by Wei Lv, Quan‐Hong Yang, Feiyu Kang, and co‐workers in article number 1904991. The gradient surface increases the lithiophilicity and high utilization of 3D structure, enabling a dendrite‐free lithium‐metal anode with high energy density.
