  "abstract": "This study examines how deposition potential influences the composition and nanoscale structure of Prussian Blue (PB)/Prussian White (PW)-family films, providing an experimental basis for assessing their proposed functions. Films were grown directly on Au/Cr/Si in a single potentiostatic step from a common aqueous bath at $-0.20$ to $+0.40$\\,V versus a saturated calomel electrode, with a fixed deposition charge of 10\\,mC. Electron microscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy revealed potential-dependent chemistry and nonmonotonic morphology. EDS indicated greater K incorporation in lower-potential deposits, whose Fe~2p and Raman features were consistent with more reduced, PW-like environments. Surface K/Fe ratios varied nonmonotonically from 1.129 to 1.322 across the series, corresponding to 52.95--56.94\\% K within the detected K+Fe population. Larger faceted crystallites at $+0.30$\\,V contrasted with finer pyramids and cracks at $+0.40$\\,V. Selected PB-like and PW-like regions had local cubic lattice parameters of $(10.31\\pm0.10)$\\,Å and $(10.36\\pm0.10)$\\,Å, respectively; their overlapping uncertainties prevent discrimination by lattice spacing alone. Cross-sectional maps showed broadly uniform framework-element distributions within locally continuous coatings. Together, these observations relate deposition conditions to contrasting chemical and morphological starting states without establishing bulk stoichiometry or phase purity. A literature-grounded outlook identifies ion storage, sensing, electrochromism, resistive switching, and ion handling as research opportunities requiring functional validation in these films.",
