An efficient, sustainable, and continuous method for the preparation of graphene supported palladium nanoparticles (Pd/G) has been developed using microwave irradiation as a heating source for the metal deposition process. The Pd/G produced from this method was effective in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with a broad range of substrates. When incorporated into a packed bed flow reactor, this ligand free catalyst system continued to demonstrate high reaction conversions with limited catalyst leaching in the reaction mixture (347 ppb palladium).
