Dust-obscured star formation has dominated the cosmic history of star formation since z = 4. However, the recent finding of significant amount of dust in galaxies out to z = 8 has opened the new frontier of investigating the origin of dust also in the earliest phases of galaxy formation, within the first 1.5 billion years from the Big Bang. This is a key and rapid transition phase for the evolution of dust, as galaxy evolutionary timescales become comparable with the formation timescales of dust. Our aim is to provide an overview of the several findings on dust formation and evolution at z > 4, and of the theoretical efforts to explain the observational results. We have organized the review in two parts. In the first part, presented here, we focus on dust sources, primarily supernovae and asymptotic giant branch stars, and the subsequent reprocessing of dust in the interstellar medium, through grain destruction and growth. We also discuss other dust production mechanisms, such as Red Super Giants, Wolf--Rayet stars, Classical Novae, Type Ia Supernovae, and dust formation in quasar winds. The focus of this first part is on theoretical models of dust production sources, although we also discuss the comparison with observations in the nearby Universe, which are key to put constraints on individual sources and processes. While the description has a general applicability at any redshift, we emphasize the relative role of different sources in the dust build-up in the early Universe. In the second part, which will be published later on, we will focus on the recent observational results at z > 4, discussing the theoretical models that have been proposed to interpret those results, as well as the profound implications for galaxy formation.

JWST NIRCam and MIRI Reveal the Dust-Producing AGB Population of NGC 6822
JWST photometry of NGC 6822 yields 1226 evolved stars returning 5.6e-7 Msun/yr of dust (60% oxygen-rich AGB, 35% carbon-rich) despite low metallicity, plus colour-based DPR estimators.

Breathing Fire: Hot Dust in the Big Three Dragons at z = 7.15
The Big Three Dragons galaxy pair at z=7.15 has hot dust (T_d ≈ 78 K) and is almost fully obscured (f_obs ≈ 0.94), implying that UV-bright galaxies can host major hidden starbursts in the early universe.

Efficient Interstellar Grain Growth from High Sticking Coefficients on Amorphous Carbon Dust
ReaxFF molecular dynamics and supporting lab measurements show interstellar dust grains can accrete gas-phase metals with sticking coefficients above 0.2, growing significantly within 100 Myr.

Realistic Multi-temperature Dust: How Well Can We Constrain the Dust Properties of High-redshift Galaxies?
Single-temperature fits to mock high-redshift dust SEDs built from a skewed temperature PDF underestimate dust masses by up to about 0.6 dex and bias the emissivity index shallow.

Population III Supernovae as a dust factory I --- molecule formation and mixing/fallback in ejecta
Faint Population III supernovae, modeled with mixing and fallback tuned to match ancient metal-poor star abundances, can eject carbonaceous dust with a C-to-silicate mass ratio of about 7, offering a plausible source ...

A study of Andromeda to improve our knowledge on the evolution and dust production by AGB stars
Modelling of Andromeda's AGB population indicates carbon stars currently produce about 4e-4 solar masses of dust per year, roughly seven times the silicate production rate.

REBELS-IFU: Dust attenuation curves of 12 massive galaxies at $z\simeq7$
Dust attenuation curves of 12 massive z~7 galaxies from JWST NIRSpec spectra are mostly Calzetti-like, with three 2175 Angstrom bumps and slopes that correlate with A_V.

JWST Spectra Indicate a Large Mass of Postshock Dust Formed by SN 2010jl
SN 2010jl has produced at least 0.11 solar masses of dust by 13 years after explosion, likely about 0.2 solar masses, among the largest dust masses measured for a supernova from mid-infrared data alone.

The influence of dust destruction on gas cooling
Dust cooling can shorten post-shock gas cooling times by about a factor of two, but thermal sputtering destroys most grains above 3×10^6 K; survival reaches only ~20% for flat distributions at solar metallicity.

Stochasticity in Stellar Yields Reflected in Theoretical Dust Masses Estimates Across all Type II Supernova Progenitors
A systematic grid of theoretical upper limits on dust masses from core-collapse supernovae shows oxygen-rich silicates dominate and that predicted dust yields vary by factors of 2 to 5 depending on the stellar evoluti...
