UiO-66(x) with different water content were prepared by a two-step simple method at room temperature, which owns high specific surface area. UiO-66 performs pretty adsorption capacity with maximum adsorption amount of 543.48 mg g−1 and cycle stability for methylene blue removal from water because of its better surface area. [Display omitted] •UiO-66 was prepared by a facile method at room temperature.•UiO-66 with different water content was studied.•The maximum adsorption capacity of MB removal is 543.48 mg g−1.•The adsorbent has good stability and durability at room temperature. Metal-organic frameworks have remarkable advantages of high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, species diversity and superior stability causing it be a good adsorbent for methylene blue removal. Here, UiO-66 was prepared by two-step simple method at room temperature, then the effects of water on morphology, crystallinity and adsorption properties of UiO-66 were studied. UiO-66 exhibits good adsorption performance of MB with maximum adsorption amount of 543.48 mg g−1 and good cycling stability.
