Due to the toxicity of cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), a better understanding of the redox reaction-induced surface property changes of CeO₂ NPs and their transport in natural and engineered aqueous systems is needed. As such, this study investigates the impact of redox reactions with ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) on the colloidal stability of CeO₂ NPs. We demonstrated that under anaerobic conditions, suspended CeO₂ NPs in a 3 mM FeCl₂ solution at pH 4.8 were much more stable against sedimentation than those in the absence of Fe²⁺. Redox reactions between CeO₂ NPs and Fe²⁺ lead to the formation of 6-line ferrihydrite on the CeO2 surfaces, which enhanced the colloidal stability by increasing the zeta potential and hydrophilicity of CeO² NPs. These redox reactions can affect the toxicity of CeO₂ NPs by increasing cerium dissolution, and by creating new Fe(III) (hydr)oxide reactive surface layers. Thus, these findings have significant implications for elucidating the phase transformation and transport of redox reactive NPs in the environment.
