The adsorption site of sodium atoms deposited onto a clean TiO2(110) surface has been determined by EXAFS. The best result is obtained for an 'in-between' site where the sodium is bound to two bridging oxygen atoms at 2.25 A and one in-plane one at 2.40 A in full agreement with DFT calculations. At higher coverage the site becomes a hollow site where Na is equidistant to the three oxygen atoms at 2.30 A.
