Tuning intermediate adsorption energy by shifting the d-band center offers a powerful strategy to tailor the reactivity of metal catalysts. Here we report a potential sweep method to grow Pd layer-by-layer on Au with the capability to in situ measure the surface structure through an ethanol oxidatio...
