Pd/graphene catalysts were prepared in situ from graphite oxide and palladium salts by the hydrogen-reduction method and were then used for the construction of Pd/graphene gas-diffusion electrodes (GDE). The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micr...
