The dominant feature of industrial development in the nineteenth century was the use of power, but closely associated with it and of scarcely less importance was the enormous increase in the use of metals made possible by metallurgical progress. Here we review the development and use of three wonder metals, and propose next-generation electrochemical cell designs for metal production.
