Reversible intercalation/deintercalation of K+ in nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) thin films occurs in two energetically distinct, largely noninteracting, sites whose proportions are set by lattice nonstoichiometry. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to correlate the stoichiometry of NiHCF, measured using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), with intercalation processes measured via cyclic voltammetry (CV). NiHCF voltammograms are well-known to exhibit two reversible peaks for K+-containing electrolytes; each peak represents a different local cation intercalation/deintercalation environment. PCA of 59 different CV-EDS data sets shows (to first order) that the relative sizes of the two CV peaks are proportional to the lattice nonstoichiometry, but the peak locations (energies) are largely independent of stoichiometry. Intercalation sites in stoichiometric lattices are energetically favored compared to sites associated with defects (ΔG ≈ −10 kJ/mol K+). The proportionality of CV peak sizes, a...
