Abstract Multilevel luminescence materials have aroused wide attention for their advanced anti‐counterfeiting abilities. However, various complicated stimuli factors involved in multilevel luminescence anti‐counterfeiting (MlLA) limit the practical applications of such materials. Herein, carbon dots (CDs) are in situ introduced into Eu‐substituted AlPO 4 ‐5 zeolite (named CDs@EuAPO‐5) via a solvent‐free thermal crystallization method, which exhibits triple emissions including pink fluorescence mainly associated with Eu 3+ in the zeolite framework, blue fluorescence and green room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) associated with CDs. CDs are uniformly embedded in the EuAPO‐5 zeolite matrix. Such composite displays excellent photo‐, thermo‐, and solvent resistance, as well as long‐term storage‐stability. Moreover, the triple emissions of the composite only need two kinds of common excitation lights to trigger, without involving other complicated stimuli. A triple‐level luminescence anti‐counterfeiting (TlLA) label has been built, realizing facile, quick, and advanced luminescence anti‐counterfeiting that is hard to copy.
