This　paper　reports　the　electrodeposition　of　Pd　in　the　room-temperature　ionic　liquid　1-ethyl-3methylimidazolium　trifluoroacetate　([emim]　TA).　The　electrochemical　behavior　of　PdC(l)2　in　[emim]　TA　was　investigated　using　cyclic　voltammetry.　Cyclic　voltammograms　were　recorded　at　various　scan　rates　and　temperatures　and　showed　that　the　reduction　of　Pd　was　irreversible.　The　diffusion　coefficient　of　PdCl2　in　[emim]　TA　increased　with　increasing　temperature　and　the　diffusion　activation　energy　was　determined　to　be　43.66　KJ　mol-1.　The　optimum　parameters　of　Pd　electrodeposition　in　[emim]　TA　were　determined　through　single-factor　experiments.　The　surface　morphology　of　the　deposits　was　analyzed　via　scanning　electron　microscopy　and　the　crystal　structure　of　metallic　Pd　was　confirmed　through　X-ray　diffraction.
