▎ 摘　　要

Facile synthesis of graphene-supported Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of 5 nm (Pd/G) was achieved by a microwave-assisted reduction approach; the obtained Pd/G can be very effectively coupled to the microwave field, making it a high-performance catalyst (with turnover frequency (TOF) of 158 465 h(-1)) for microwave-assisted selective hydrogenation of isophorone at low temperatures.
