The invention relates to a cyclic quaternary ammonium salt electrolyte, a preparation method and an application therefor. The preparation method comprises the steps of enabling an inorganic aqueous alkali, organic secondary amine and alkyl dihalide to react to obtain halogenated cyclic quaternary ammonium salt reacting liquid; dehydrating the halogenated cyclic quaternary ammonium salt reacting liquid to obtain a solid powder mixture; dissolving the solid powder mixture into anhydrous organic solvent, and filtering to obtain an organic solution of the halogenated cyclic quaternary ammonium salt; adding ammonium salt of high purity acid into the organic solution of the halogenated cyclic quaternary ammonium salt, performing a backflow reaction, and then performing filtering, recrystallization, filtering, and vacuum drying to obtain the cyclic quaternary ammonium salt electrolyte. The preparation method is low in cost of the raw materials, and high in cyclization selectivity; the purifying method is simple and easy to implement, high in efficiency and low in cost; in addition, the preparation method has low requirement on equipment, and the industrial production of the cyclic quaternary ammonium salt electrolyte can be achieved easily; and in addition, the prepared cyclic quaternary ammonium salt electrolyte is low in content of halogen, the purity can reach more than 99%, and the yield can reach more than 90%.
