≤ 0.2) DRX compounds reveals that the correlation length of the spinel-like ordering that emerges during the heat treatment strongly depends on the Zr : Ti ratio. Yet, dramatic capacity activation and electrochemical (pseudo-)plateaus reminiscent of Mn-based spinel cathodes are observed for all compounds irrespective of the size of the ordered domains. To explain this phenomenon, we propose that the DRX phase undergoes a complete transformation to a spinel-like domain structure, which improves bulk Li-ion transport regardless of domain size.
