A method for making a lithium mixed metal compound includes preparing a reactant mixture that contains a metal compound, a lithium compound, and optionally, a phosphate-containing compound; and exposing the reactant mixture to an atmosphere in the presence of suspended carbon particles, and conducting a reduction to reduce oxidation state of at least one metal ion of the reactant mixture at a temperature sufficient to form a reaction product containing lithium and the reduced metal ion. |
