Abstract Strain engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to modulate catalytic activity, yet its general applicability remains uncertain, especially for magnetic catalysts where spin effect also plays a critical role in governing reactivity. Here, we reveal a metal-dependent modulation on adsorbate chemisorption to strain, with magnetic metals exhibiting reduced strain sensitivity compared to non-magnetic metals.
