Lanthanide‐doped TiO2 nanoparticles (La‐TiO2NP)‐modified electrode was successfully prepared by the sol–gel and dip‐coating methods on the indium tin oxide electrode. Scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and photoluminescence spectra were used to charact...
