About Standard Hydrogen Electrode

The standard hydrogen electrode provides the reference potential of 0.00 V for measuring electrode potentials. It consists of platinum in contact with hydrogen gas at standard pressure and hydrogen ions at standard concentration, usually at 25°C, and can operate as either the oxidation or reduction half-cell.
