The invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, in particular to a preparation method of a power lithium battery diaphragm. The preparation method comprises the following steps of dissolving, assistant adding, extruding, sheeting casting, diaphragm forming by drawing, shaping and the like, and a polyolefin resin microporous membrane, namely a lithium battery diaphragm, is formed finally. The diaphragm prepared by the method is 10-25 mu m thick, has a preferential porosity being 40-70%, and 105 DEG C heat shrinkage rate below 5%. The prepared diaphragm has the advantages of low closed-pore temperature, high fusing temperature, low heat shrinkage rate, good mechanical properties and has excellent safety performance when used as a power lithium battery diaphragm. In addition, the power lithium battery diaphragm is a polyolefin resin microporous sinlge-layer membrane which has good heat stability after being subjected to process steps such as drawing and shaping.
