The present invention provides a conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries and a mixture paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries that are inhibited from increasing in viscosity and gelling, and that have an easy-to-apply viscosity. The conductive paste of the present invention contains a dispersion resin (A), polyvinylidene fluoride (B), conductive carbon (C), a solvent (D), and a dehydrating agent (E).
