The possibility of reconciliation between seemingly mutually exclusive properties in one system can not only lead to theoretical breakthroughs but also potential novel applications. The research on the coexistence of two purportedly contra-indicated properties, ferroelectricity/polarity and conductivity, proposed by Anderson and Blount over 50 years ago was recently revitalized by the discovery of the first unambiguous polar metal LiOsO3 and further fueled by the demonstration of the first switchable ferroelectric metal WTe2. In this review, we first discuss the reasons why the coexistence of ferroelectricity/polarity and conductivity have been deemed incompatible, followed by a review on the history of ferroelectric/polar metals. Secondly, we review the important milestones along with the corresponding mechanisms for the ferroelectric/polar metallic phases in these materials. Thirdly, we summarize the design approaches for ferroelectric/polar metals. Finally, we discuss the prospects and potential applications of ferroelectric/polar metals.
