[0002] When high-strength metal materials are in service in a hydrogen-rich environment, they face the risk of hydrogen embrittlement fracture failure. Therefore, studying the hydrogen diffusion and hydrogen-induced damage behavior of metal materials can provide important theoretical support for the design of hydrogen traps for hydrogen-embrittlement-resistant metal materials, thereby helping to improve their ability to resist hydrogen embrittlement failure. When studying hydrogen diffusion behavior and hydrogen embrittlement failure mechanisms, it is necessary to charge the sample with hydrogen. The most common hydrogen charging methods are water electrolysis hydrogen charging and electrochemical hydrogen charging. In small hydrogen charging systems, the single-electrolytic cell electrochemical hydrogen charging method has become the first choice for laboratory hydrogen charging because of its simplicity, high efficiency, and strong operability. However, most traditional non-integrated single-electrolytic cell hydrogen charging devices have a single anode terminal and no specific fixing device, which can easily lead to inconsistent hydrogen charging effects each time, unstable and uneven hydrogen charging; and the integrated device has a complex structure, strict requirements on the sample size, and its anode material is not easy to replace, which has the problem of low efficiency.
