This can not only eliminate internal static electricity, but also better avoid the reduction of ionic conductivity, increasing the migration speed of ions in an electrolyte solution, and reducing lithium dendrites. When the microporous membrane of the present application is used as separators of batteries, an appropriate amount of the ionic liquid is added to the microporous membrane, which is conducive to alleviating the problem of static electricity accumulation in the microporous membrane, and meanwhile enables the microporous membrane to have low thermal shrinkage, thereby avoiding the compromise of battery capacity and the occurrence of electrochemical safety issues.
