The correct answer is: To bring the reaction in reverse direction
In standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), a platinum plate coated with platinum black is used as electrode. The platinum black is capable of adsorbing large quantities of $\mathrm{H}_2$ gas. This allows the change from gaseous to ionic form and the reverse process to occur.
