Palladium nanoparticles were synthesized with palladium(U) chloride, trisodium citrate dehydrate, and sodium borohydride under stirring condition. Palladium-graphene nanocomposites were prepared with palladium nanoparticles and graphene were taken place with polyallylamine under stirring condition for 1hr and irradiated ultrasonic for 3hrs. Palladium-graphene nanocomposites were heated in an electric furnace at 700 for 2hrs and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Palladium-graphene nanocomposites were examined as a catalyst to reduce 2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol into 2-aminophenol, 3-aminophenol, 4-aminophenol with sodium borohydride by UV-vis spectrophotometer.
