    摘要: A method of making a reversible hydrogen electrode comprises filling a housing with electrolyte, the housing having an open end, a closed end and a platinum wire having an internal portion in the housing and an external portion extending through the closed end to an exterior of the housing. The housing is inverted into a container of electrolyte and a counter electrode is placed into the container of electrolyte, the counter electrode being metal. A power source is attached to the external portion of the platinum wire and the counter electrode. The power source is run for a period of time to produce electrolysis. Hydrogen is formed at the internal portion of the platinum wire and oxygen is formed at the counter electrode. A single hydrogen bubble is formed in the housing, the platinum wire extending through the single hydrogen bubble.
