Spectroscopic Evidence for Fe(II)−Fe(III) Electron Transfer at the Iron Oxide−Water Interface
Abstract
Using the isotope specificity of 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, we report spectroscopic observations of Fe(II) reacted with oxide surfaces under conditions typical of natural environments (i.e., wet, anoxic, circumneutral pH, and about 1% Fe(II)). Mössbauer spectra of Fe(II) adsorbed to rutile (TiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) show only Fe(II) species, whereas spectra of Fe(II) reacted with goethite (alpha-FeOOH), hematite (alpha-Fe2O3), and ferrihydrite (Fe5HO8) demonstrate electron transfer between the adsorbed Fe(II) and the underlying iron(III) oxide. Electron-transfer induces growth of an Fe(III) layer on the oxide surface that is similar to the bulk oxide. The resulting oxide is capable of reducing nitrobenzene (as expected based on previous studies), but interestingly, the oxide is only reactive when aqueous Fe(II) is present. This finding suggests a novel pathway for the biogeochemical cycling of Fe and also raises important questions regarding the mechanism of contaminant reduction by Fe(II) in the presence of oxide surfaces.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
