Crystallographic analysis identified the monoclinic framework and site distribution.

Main Results:

Li2FeP2O7 exhibits a monoclinic structure (space group P2(1)/c) with a pseudolayered arrangement.
A long-range antiferromagnetic ordering was observed at the Néel temperature (T(N)) of 9 K.
Magnetic structure reveals ferromagnetic coupling within FeO6-FeO5 clusters, antiferromagnetic coupling along chains, and ferromagnetic arrangement of adjacent chains along the a-axis.

Conclusions:

The magnetic structure of Li2FeP2O7 was successfully solved, revealing intricate spin-spin exchange interactions.
The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of magnetic phenomena in pyrophosphate cathode materials.
The study's insights are generalizable to Li2FeP2O7-Li2CoP2O7 binary solid solutions.
