Differential EXAFS (Δ-EXAFS) data were obtained from SiO2-supported Pd NCs  by measuring the EXAFS signals before and after Ar adsorption, and modeled by taking into account only un-subtracted, surface Pd contributions.  The increased sensitivity of Δ-EXAFS allows for detection of small changes in the coordination environment of surface Pd atoms.
