The invention discloses zirconium-based metal organic frameworks UiO-66 and application thereof, and further discloses a preparation method. The preparation method comprises the steps that zirconium tetrachloride and acetic acid are dissolved in N, N-dimethylformamide, terephthalic acid is added, and uniform stirring is carried out so as to obtain a mixed reaction solution; and the mixed reactionsolution is transferred into a reaction kettle and is placed at the temperature of 120 DEG C for reaction for 7-24 hours, then cooling is carried out to reach room temperature, solid-liquid separationis carried out, and then solid obtained after solid-liquid separation is cleaned and dried so as to obtain the zirconium-based metal organic frameworks UiO-66. The zirconium-based metal organic frameworks UiO-66 can serve as a liquid binding phase of a DGT(diffusive gradients in thin-films) device and are used for measuring the active phosphorus of a water body; and the zirconium-based metal organic frameworks UiO-66 have good binding capacity for the phosphorus and can be applied to the DGT(diffusive gradients in thin-films) device as the liquid binding phase, so that in-situ collection andrapid detection can be carried out on the active phosphorus of the water body, in addition, the operation is simple, the accuracy is high, the stability is good, and the the zirconium-based metal organic frameworks UiO-66 are suitable for long-term storage and large-scale production.
