Size-selective Electrochemical Preparation of Alcohol Ionic-liquid-stabilized Palladium NPs

We have successfully synthesized morpholinium ionic-liquid-stabilized palladium nanoparticles by electrochemical reduction. The palladium nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The sizes of the particles produced could be controlled by adjusting the current density and the duration of the electrolysis. The particle sizes increased with decreasing current density and increasing electrolysis duration. X-ray diffraction of the resulting NPs indicated that the particles had a crystalline structure.
