Hybridization of conductive few-layer graphene with well-dispersed Pd nanocrystals

► We develop a TELESR process to hybridize graphene with Pd nanocrystals. ► The particle size and loading density of Pd can be tailored by reaction times. ► XRD and Raman spectrum confirm the well crystallized lattice of grapheme. ► The clean interface between Pd and graphene is due to surfactant-free reaction.
