“…Copper is one of those elements found on earth’s crust in an ample amount in form of oxides (Yang et al , 2017). A number of materials are available [Zn (Tu et al , 2008), Ni (Wang et al , 2015), Cu (Fricoteaux and Savadogo, 1999), Pb (Velichenko et al , 2009; Shmychkova et al , 2013), Cr (Protsenko et al , 2018), Ca (Vidal et al , 2019), to name a few) for successful electrodeposition (Rudnik et al , 2012; Xu et al , 2019b)]. However, a few metals cannot be electrodeposited from the aqueous solutions [Ti (Lu et al , 2016), V, W (Xu et al , 2019a), Nb, Zr (Aghazadeh et al , 2012), etc.…”
