Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was successfully decorated with homogeneous highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) by a novel single-step hydrothermal-assisted formic acid reduction reaction without the use of any surfactants. The structure, surface morphology, and elemental composition of th...
