ADP to ATP by harnessing the energy of hydrogen ions.
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane
Hydrogen ions flow back down their gradient through a channel in an ATP synthase. The ATP synthase harnesses the proton-motive force to phosphorylate ADP, forming ATP.Read more: How_does_chemiosmosis_produce_ATP
The item that converts ADT to ATP is the ADT synthase. This is an enzyme that works to convert both a phosphate molecule and ADP together to make ATP.

ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
The item that converts ADT to ATP is the ADT synthase. This is an enzyme that works to convert both a phosphate molecule and ADP together to make ATP.
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
The catalytic knobs of ATP synthase would be located on the stromal side of the membrane. Protons travel through ATP synthase from the thylakoid space to the stroma.
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
