The invention discloses a triazine derivative-based separator for a vanadium battery and a preparation method of the separator. The preparation method comprises the steps of firstly, adding 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether into an organic solvent, performing uniform mixing, performing stirring and backflow reaction for 6-8 hours under 30-40 DEG C, performing rotaryevaporation under 40-50 DEG C to remove a solvent, sequentially washing the product with ethyl ether and ethyl acetate for 3-5 times, performing rotary evaporation under 40-50 DEG C to remove the solvent so as to prepare a polymerization triazine derivative; and mixing the polymerization triazine derivative, a polymerization monomer, heptafluoropropyl trifluorovinyl ether, an emulsifier and a light initiator, dropping the mixture onto a glass plate, placing the glass plate under ultraviolet light of 200-250 nanometers in nitrogen or inert gas atmosphere for irradiation for 45-55 minutes, andgenerating polymerization reaction to obtain a polymer membrane. The preparation method is simple and practical, the separator is more excellent in mechanical property, ultraviolet aging resistance and chemical stability, higher in ion conductivity, better in vanadium resistance, and is green and environmental-friendly, and no toxic raw material is used during the preparation process.
