The invention relates to the technical field of sodium ion battery electrolyte materials, in particular to a preparation method and application of sodium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: in an inert atmosphere, uniformly mixing imidodisulfuryl fluoride, a sodium source and a non-aqueous solvent, then carrying out a reaction, and after the reaction is completed, carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain imidodisulfuryl fluoride sodium; the non-aqueous solvent comprises at least one of acetonitrile, valeronitrile, pyridine, chloroethanol, chloroform, n-propanol, toluene, diethyl ether, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, xylene, dimethyl sulfoxide, N, N-dimethylformamide and methyl tert-butyl ether; the sodium source comprises at least one of sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. According to the present invention, the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide and the sodium source are subjected to the reaction in the non-aqueous solvent capable of forming the azeotrope with water to obtain the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide sodium, such that the water removal process is simplified, the impurity introduction during the water removal process is avoided, the water content in the product is effectively controlled, and the yield and the main content of the bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide sodium are improved.
