Abstract Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has emerged as an interesting but rare phenomenon with multiple potential applications in anti‐counterfeiting, optoelectronic devices, and biosensing. Nevertheless, the pursuit of ultralong lifetimes RTP under visible light excitation presents a significant challenge. Here, new phosphorescent materials that can be excited by record‐long are demonstrated, realized through embedding nitrogen doped carbon dots (N‐CDs) into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film. The lifetime N‐CDs@PVA film is remarkably extended to 2.1 s 420 nm, representing highest recorded value for light‐excited materials. Theoretical experimental studies reveal robust hydrogen bonding interactions effectively reduce non‐radiative decay rate radiative transition triplet excitons, thus dramatically prolong lifetime. Notably, emission also activated easily accessible low‐power white‐light‐emitting diode. More significantly, practical state‐of‐the‐art anti‐counterfeiting security optical information storage domains further demonstrated.
