In many studies, the formation of crystalline Li\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    NbO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    is reported as the final product of Li\u2013Nb\u2013O coating processes after thermal treatment. However, experimental observations obtained for different cathode morphologies and processing conditions indicate that the structural evolution of Li\u2013Nb\u2013O coatings is more complex. A systematic analysis of temperature\u2010dependent diffraction data, combined with comparison to literature results for structurally related systems, shows that Li\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    NbO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    is not the only crystalline phase that can form during high\u2010temperature treatment.
