The electrode prepared was characterized with UV-Vis and X-ray diffraction （XRD） techniques. The amount of gadolinium was measured with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry （ICP-OES） experiments. The modified electrode showed reduced N3 dye adsorption ability, but increased light conversion efficiency in comparison with the non-modified electrode. The overall conversion efficiencies, determined under 400 W/m2 irradiation with tungsten-halogen lamp at room temperature, were 0.55% for non-modified and 0.74% for modified electrodes.展开更多
