Palladium nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (Pd/rGO) catalyst was prepared by using alovera extract in sunlight. The catalyst (Pd/rGO) was employed for the Suzuki cross coupling reactions. The characterization of Pd/rGO was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The average particle size of Pd was found to be 7±2 nm.  The catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity with good recyclability for C- C cross coupling reactions.
