The invention provides a polyvinylidene fluoride microporous film and a preparation method; the polyvinylidene fluoride microporous film is prepared by using polyvinylidene fluoride, fatty alcohol (non solvent) and polar organic solvent as raw materials, the proportioning of which is as follows: the mass content of polyvinylidene fluoride is 10%-15%, and the content of non solvent is 6-12%; the specific steps are as follows: polyvinylidene fluoride, polar organic solvent and non solvent are mixed, dissolved and filtered, set aside and are deaerated to obtain clear casting film liquid which is struck on a coarse structure template substrate and placed in air; gel forms film in a coagulating bath, is processed by hot water, and then soaked in water and absolute ethyl alcohol to obtain high hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride microporous film; the contact angle between the surface of high hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride microporous film and water reaches 130 degrees to 140 degrees, air flux of the film reaches 6.0m<3>/(m<2>-h-kPa) under 60kPa, the maximum bore diameter is less than 0.5 mum, tensile strength reaches breaking strength which is larger than 5Mpa, and the elongation at break is larger than 50%. The invention is the polyvinylidene fluoride microporous film with high hydrophobicity, high flux and good mechanical strength and the preparation method, which is mainly applied to the film distillation and associated film process.
