D-π-A dyes NI-4 bearing a pyridyl group, YNI-1 bearing two pyridyl groups and YNI-2 bearing two thienylpyridyl groups as the anchoring group on the TiO 2 surface have been developed as dye sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), where NI-4 and YNI-2 can adsorb onto the TiO 2 electrode through the formation of the coordinate bond between the pyridyl group of the dye and the Lewis acid site (exposed Ti n+ cations) on the TiO 2 surface, but YNI-1 is predominantly adsorbed on the TiO 2 electrode through the formation of the hydrogen bond between the pyridyl group of the dye and the Brønsted acid sites (surface-bound hydroxyl groups, Ti-OH) on the TiO 2 surface. The difference in the dye-adsorption mode among the three dyes on the TiO 2 surface has been investigated from the adsorption equilibrium constant (K ad ) based on the Langmuir adsorption isotherms. It was found that the K ad values of YNI-1 and YNI-2 are higher than that of NI-4, and more interestingly, the K ad value of YNI-2 is higher than that of YNI-1. This work demonstrates that that for the D-π-A dye sensitizers with the pyridyl group as the anchoring group to the TiO 2 surface the number of pyridyl groups and the dye-adsorption mode on the TiO 2 electrode as well as the molecular structure of the dye sensitizer affect the K ad value for the adsorption of the dye to the TiO 2 electrode, that is, resulting in a difference in the K ad value among the D-π-A dye sensitizers NI-4, YNI-1 and YNI-2.
