This article discusses the effectiveness of Prussian Blue (PB) or KxFeA Y (CN)6]z thin films as a model to demonstrate the concept of reversibility of electron and ion exchange processes. PB structure is modified via exchanging the FeA (the counter ion) with other metal ions that have electrochemically active or inactive redox behavior. The modeling process includes the investigation of the electrochemical behavior of PB before and after modification. The results can be compared and used to derive conclusions about the validity of PB as a model compound.
