The invention aims to provide a preparation method and application of a porous nano metal organic framework material, and is characterized in that the preparation method comprises the steps: adding a metal ion, an organic ligand, a surfactant and a nanocrystalline guide agent or a reagent forming the nanocrystalline guide agent into a growth medium, forming a framework structure through chemical complexation, crystallizing, filtering, washing, drying, and finally obtaining the porous nano metal organic framework material. The addition amount of the surfactant is 0-30% of the molar concentration of the metal ion; the metal ion is one or more of Cu<II>, Al<III>, Mg<II>, Fe<III>, Ni<II>, Co<II> and Zn<II>; the organic ligand has at least one atom independently selected from oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen and can be subjected to coordinated complexation to the metal ion through the atom. The method not only can effectively suppress the size of MOFs materials, but also easily improves size homogeneity and synthetic efficiency of the product.
