They observed that the presence of an amine AR24 Scheme 6 group in the sensitizer can significantly aggravate the charge recombination because of its strong iodide binding capability Reynal et al. 2008 . In addition they found that the charge recombination of the sensitizer with an lkoxy group K19 was clearly more serious than for the alky sulfide substitute TG6 O Regan et al. 2009a . The difference was attributed to the different complexation capability with iodide of the sensitizer. However up to now the detailed mechanism of the complex is not clear. The task to increase the electron injection efficiency To increase the electron injection efficiency of DSSCs it is critical to decrease the distance between the sensitizer acceptor and the TiO2. An effective strategy might be the adoption of multi-anchor units. Tian et al. investigated a series of iridium sensitizers with one or two carboxyl anchor groups. It was found that the efficiency of a sensitizer with two carboxyl units Ir3 Scheme 7 is pronouncedly higher than for a sensitizer with a single carboxyl unit Ir1 Scheme 7 Ning et al. 2009a . Another factor that affects the electron injection efficiency is the non-radiative decay of the sensitizer which results in energy loss. Tian et. al investigated the relationship between the emission quantum yield and the electron injection efficiency of sensitizers Ning et al. 2009a . It was found that the electron injection efficiency is consistent with the luminescence quantum yield of the sensitizer. Since less non-radiative decay guarantees high
