Palladium and gold Palladium electrodeposition is of special interest for catalysis and for nanotechnology. It has been reported [49] that it can be deposited from basic chloroaluminate liquids, while in the acidic regime the low solubility of PdCl2 and passivation phenomena complicate the deposition. In our experience, however, thick Pd layers are difficult to obtain from basic chloroaluminates. With different melt compositions and special electrochemical techniques at temperatures up to 100 °C we succeeded in depositing mirror-bright and thick nanocrystalline palladium coatings [10].
