Detailed Solution

We use Cu, Zn, Ag, and Au in electrolytic cells during the refining of metals by the electrorefining method.
Electrolytic refinement is a technique for extracting and purifying metals through the electrolysis process.

Electrolytic refining can be used to purify metals such as copper, nickel, gold, lead, silver, and zinc. It is a method of driving a non-spontaneous chemical reaction with a direct electric current.

When it comes to setting up for the whole method, a metal rod works as an anode, and a thin strip of pure metal works as a cathode in an electrolytic cell.
