Developing environmentally benign luminescent materials with high emission efficiency, recyclability, and dynamically tunable optical properties is crucial for sustainable optical information encryption. However, achieving green synthesis, scalable production, and stimulus-responsive optical tunability simultaneously remains challenging. Herein, Sb-doped rare-earth halide perovskite phosphors are rapidly synthesized via a low-energy aqueous-phase evaporation-crystallization strategy, avoiding organic solvents and corrosive reagents, and enabling gram-scale production. The obtained Cs2NaYCl6:Sb, Cs2KYCl6:Sb, Rb3YCl6:Sb and Rb2ScCl5·H2O:Sb phosphors exhibit multicolor emission from blue to orange with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) exceeding 80%. They feature three-dimensional or zero-dimensional crystal structures with micrometer-scale irregular morphology, along with excellent long-term UV and thermal stability. Benefiting from reversible dissolution-recrystallization behavior in water, the phosphors show outstanding recyclability, retaining around 80% PLQY and nearly unchanged decay dynamics after 15 cycles. In addition, structure-dependent solvent-responsive luminescence is observed, where DMSO treatment followed by drying induces distinct emission transformations. By integrating multicolor emission with stimulus-triggered optical transitions, a multilevel optical information encryption and decryption system with triple dynamic encryption is demonstrated, highlighting the potential of these materials for sustainable optical security and information storage applications.
