A mixed metal oxide having the formula xLi2MnO3.(1−x)LiMO2 formed efficiently and in a reduced number of steps by at least partially drying an aqueous metal hydroxide mixture to form a mixed metal precursor, and then reacting the mixed metal precursor to form the mixed metal oxide. The aqueous metal hydroxide mixture includes lithium, manganese, and one or more additional metals in stoichiometric proportions indicated by the formula xLi2MnO3.(1−x)LiMO2, where 0<x<1 and M represents manganese and the one or more additional metals. In some cases, the aqueous metal hydroxide mixture is formed by preparing an aqueous metal salt solution including lithium, manganese, and the one or more additional metals in stoichiometric proportions indicated by the formula xLi2MnO3.(1−x)LiMO2, and combining the aqueous metal salt solution with ammonium hydroxide to form the aqueous metal hydroxide mixture.
