Conclusions We show that magnetic Compton scattering spectra measured under a magnetic field of 2.5 T allow access to the momentum density of unpaired spins of disordered lithium-rich cathode material LixTi0.4Mn0.4O2 (LTMO) over a wide range of lithium concentrations x. The net moment increases in the cationic redox region (0 < x < 0.4), whereas it decreases in the anionic redox region (0.4 < x < 1.2). At a low Li concentration, a Li 2p valence electron is transferred into a Mn 3d molecular orbital to induce an increase in the Mn magnetic moment involved in cationic redox. In contrast, at a high Li concentration, the Li 2p valence electron is transferred into a 2p orbital of a magnetic O− ion to initiate anionic redox, which produces a net decrease in the total magnetic moment. Our study provides conclusive evidence for the anionic redox mechanism in LTMO and suggests new avenues for designing high-energy-density cathodes for batteries.
