Cross sections of the process $e^+e^– → π^0π^0J/ψ$ at center-of-mass energies between 3.808 and 4.600 GeV are measured with high precision by using 12.4 fb$$^{–1}$$ of data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider facility. A fit to the measured energy-dependent cross sections confirms the existence of the charmoniumlike state $$\textit{Y}$$(4220). The mass and width of the $$\textit{Y}$$(4220) are determined to be (4220.4 ± 2.4 ± 2.3) MeV/$c^2$ and (46.2 ± 4.7 ± 2.1) MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The mass and width are consistent with those measured in the process $e^+e^– → π^+π^– J/ψ$. The neutral charmonium-like state $$Z_c(3900)^0$$ is observed prominently in the $π^0J/ψ$ invariant-mass spectrum, and, for the first time, an amplitude analysis is performed to study its properties. The spin-parity of $$Z_c(3900)^0$$ is determined to be $J^P = 1^+$, and the pole position is $(3893.1 ± 2.2 ± 3.0 ) – i ( 22.2 ± 2.6 ± 7.0 ) MeV/c^2$, which is consistent with previous studies of electrically charged $$Z_c(3900)^±$$. In addition, cross sections of $$e^+e^– → π^0Z_c(3900)^0 → π^0π^0J/ψ$$ are extracted, and the corresponding line shape is found to agree with that of the $$\textit{Y}(4220)$$.
