In addition, the relationship between short-range order suppression and the number of constituent cations is strongly influenced by the lithium-excess and fluorine content. While cation mixing is able to strongly increase the active lithium fraction in systems with comparatively low lithium-fluorine content, when the lithium excess is high and the fluorine content increases, the short range ordering formation is dominated by transition-metal-oxygen and lithium-fluorine bonding preferences as opposed to any improved cation mixing from many-transition-metal substitution.
