Abstract
This study reports the deposition of palladium nanoparticles on the surface of graphene nanosheet by a simple approach, using a microwave-assisted method. The surface structure, crystal phase and elemental identification of these composites were characterized X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity has been investigated for hydrogen evolution. Especially, the hydrogen evolutions were attributed to the cooperation between graphene and Pd element, due to the high photoelectron transport properties from graphene and the Pd nanoparticles attached on the surface of graphene sheet, which act as reaction centers for H2 evolution. This work highlights the potential application of graphene-based materials in the field of energy conversion.
