Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode for the lithium iron phosphate battery and the manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a coated electrode for the lithium iron phosphate with a smooth surface and without de-powder phenomenon and the manufacturing method thereof. The electrode provided in the present invention uses an arabic gum modified by adding silicone-based gel into the arabic gum. The lithium iron phosphate active material and the conductive agent in a certain ratio are added into the aforesaid modified arabic gums, after the mixing process, a liquid slurry with a certain viscosity is formed. Then, the liquid slurry is coated uniformly onto a positive current collector of aluminum foil or mesh, and followed by the process like drying, calendaring, cutting and etc. to form positive electrode plate. The electrode in the present invention has the characteristics of smooth surface and no de-powder phenomenon.
