In this study, nanostructures palladium was synthesized using an ultrasonic wave which is innovative, expeditious, and ecologically benign protocol. In the procedure, ultrasonic probe with 150 W was applied to an aqueous solution of Na2PdCl4 containing sodium citrate for 1 h at room temperature. The as‐prepared palladium nanoparticles were characterized through deployment of XRD, TEM, EDX, and UV‐Vis techniques. Moreover, the study extends to take the benefits from palladium nanoparticles to produce a novel carbon‐based composite using graphene oxide (Pd‐GO) which was characterized by XRD, TEM, EDX, and UV‐Vis. The organic‐inorganic nanohybrid (Pd‐GO) was then applied in a systematic investigation aimed at assessing its ability to enhance the hydrogen storage properties of GO as nano‐palladium was incorporated at a ratio of 1 Pd: 100 GO, yielding a significant enhancement (48%) in the storage capabilities of pure GO.
