The invention relates to a zinc-based massive amorphous alloy and application thereof. Zinc is a main component of the alloy, and the composition of the alloy is represented by the following formula: ZnaMgbCacYbdXe, wherein subscripts represent atom ratios (molar ratios), a is more than or equal to 36 and less than or equal to 60, b is larger than or equal to 9 and less than or equal to 15, c is larger than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 39, d is larger than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 19, e is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 25, and a+b+c+d+e=100; and the element X is one or more elements selected from Sr, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Sc, Li, Ga, Sn, Ni, Cu, Ag and Al. The alloy contains at least 50% of amorphous phase in volume percent. Because of good inoxidability, low cost, low glass transformation temperature, wide supercooling liquid phase zone and the like, the alloy is extremely suitable for micro-nano scale formation.
