Among carboxyl and carboxylate functional groups, which one can function as a better anchor on TiO2 surface in dye sensitized solar cells. It will be very useful to me if anyone provide a relevant reference.
Probably the carboxylic acid as that can be involved in hydrogen bonding.
may like to look at this paper of ours on TiO2
