Yes. Palladium is not required, nor any noble metal. The cost of the bulk metals would be in the range of $20.00/kg but to get them to the correct nanostructure is currently the problem - this it is many thousands more in processing costs. Thus - my comments about instigating a nationwide search for new nano-processes by turning the challenge over to young and creative minds in an Edisonian type of endeavor. I have a feeling that electroless nickel and copper can be deposited in nano-layers over a dielectric and then reduced by ball mill grinding to give good results - but that is a total guess at this stage.
