The invention relates to a method for microwave synthesis of a lithium iron phosphate material, and particularly discloses a method for microwave synthesis of a lithium iron phosphate material by using a waste battery. The method specifically comprises the steps of (1) selecting a waste lithium iron phosphate battery, carrying out discharge treatment on the waste lithium iron phosphate battery, and disassembling to obtain a positive plate; (2) calcining the positive plate obtained in the step (1) at the temperature of 300-500 DEG C for 1-10 hours, taking out the positive plate after the temperature is reduced to room temperature, and mechanically vibrating the positive plate to enable lithium iron phosphate to fall off from a current collector aluminum foil to obtain lithium iron phosphatepowder; and (3) mixing the lithium iron phosphate powder, a lithium source, an iron source, a phosphorus source and a carbon source, performing ball milling, performing microwave treatment for 10-100seconds, and repeating the steps of ball milling and microwave treatment until lithium iron phosphate particles are obtained. The process is simple to operate, the process is easy to control, the energy consumption is low, the method is environmentally friendly, secondary pollutants are not generated, and meanwhile, the repaired lithium iron phosphate material can be reused for producing lithiumion batteries.
