We prepared a non‐covalently coupled hybrid of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐doped graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) by freezing‐assisted assembly and calcination. Fourier transform infrared, Raman and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopies and transmission electron microscopy confirmed that rGO was incorporated into the bulk g‐C 3 N 4 , which was an ideal support for loading Pd nanoparticles. The Pd nanoparticles with an average size of 4.57 nm were uniformly dispersed on the rGO‐doped g‐C 3 N 4 surface. The layered structure provided large contact area of g‐C 3 N 4 with rGO, further accelerating the electron transfer rate and inhibiting electron–hole recombination. Consequently, compared with Pd/rGO/g‐C 3 N 4 and Pd/g‐C 3 N 4 , the Pd/rGO‐doped g‐C 3 N 4 showed a prominent catalytic activity for visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic Suzuki–Miyaura coupling at ambient temperature. The Pd/rGO‐doped g‐C 3 N 4 exhibited very high stability after six consecutive cycles with minimal loss of catalytic activity.
