Abstract 0D hybrid Sb(III) halides generally exhibit unique crystal structure and efficient emission. However, achieving efficient white light and blue light‐excited near‐infrared (NIR) emission remains an enormous challenge. Herein, a series of 0D hybrid Sb(III) halides of (18‐crown‐6@K) 2 SbX 5 (X = Cl, Br) crystals with different Cl/Br rations are synthesized via supramolecular self‐assembly. All compounds show the broadband emission, which stems from the self‐trapped excitons in SbX 5 2− pseudo‐octahedral structure. Particularly, (18‐crown‐6@K) 2 SbCl 5 crystal shows tunable emission under various excitation wavelengths, and the efficient white emission with an ultra‐high luminous efficiency of 92.3% is obtained under 310 nm excitation. As Br gradually replaces Cl, not only the excitation and emission bands show a red‐shift but also facilitate the intersystem crossing process from singlet to triplet excitons. Thus, an independent broadband NIR emission upon 450 nm excitation with an ultra‐high luminous efficiency of 58.2% is obtained in (18‐crown‐6@K) 2 SbBr 5 crystals. Moreover, the high‐performance single‐component white light‐emitting diode (WLED) based on (18‐crown‐6@K) 2 SbCl 5 and NIR LED based on (18‐crown‐6@K) 2 SbBr 5 are fabricated, and white light and NIR image fusion is realized. Finally, combined with multiangle imaging under WLED and NIR LED irradiation, the 3D image reconstruction of a centrifuge tube wrapped in a capsule is successfully demonstrated.
