•Electrodeposition of metallic Pd from Pd(acac)2 was achieved in an amide-type ionic liquid.•Pd nanoparticles were obtained in ionic liquid by the potentiostatic cathodic reduction.•The mean particle size of Pd nanoparticles was about 2.8 nm independently with the applied potential.
The electrodeposition of palladium from palladium(II) acetylacetonate (Pd(acac)2) was investigated in an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide at room temperature. Potentiostatic cathodic reduction was conducted using a glassy carbon electrode at − 2.0 V vs. Ag/Ag(I). Metallic palladium was deposited on the electrode and palladium nanoparticles were observed with dispersed state in the ionic liquid. The mean particle size of the obtained palladium nanoparticles was 2.8 ± 0.6 nm.
