1. A method for electrochemically depositing metal, the method comprising:
passing a solution comprising a metal into a cavity;
applying a first voltage charge to a porous cathodic material at least partially disposed within the cavity;
contacting the solution with a porous cathodic material having the applied first voltage charge;
applying a second voltage charge to select the metal, wherein the first voltage charge is different than the second voltage charge;
changing an oxidation state of the metal; and
selectively depositing at least a portion of the metal onto the porous cathodic material.
