Lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) have gathered much attention as light-emitting materials, particularly owing to their excellent color purity, band gap tunability, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), low cost, and scalable synthesis. To enhance the stability of LHP NCs, bulky strongly bound organic ligands are commonly employed, which counteract the extraction of charge carriers from the NCs and hinder their use as photoconductive materials and photocatalysts. Replacing these ligands with a thin coating is a complex challenge due to the highly dynamic ionic lattice, which is vulnerable to the commonly employed coating precursors and solvents. In this work, we demonstrate thin (<1 nm) metal oxide gel coatings through non-hydrolytic sol-gel reactions. The coated NCs are readily dispersible and highly stable in short-chain alcohols while remaining monodisperse and exhibiting high PLQY (70-90%). We show the successful coating of NCs in a wide range of sizes (5-14 nm) and halide compositions. Alumina-gel-coated NCs were chosen for an in-depth analysis, and the versatility of the approach is demonstrated by employing zirconia- and titania-based coatings. Compact films of the alumina-gel-coated NCs exhibit electronic and excitonic coupling between the NCs, leading to two orders of magnitude longer photoluminescence lifetimes (400-700 ns) compared to NCs in solution or their organically capped counterparts. This makes these NCs highly suited for applications where charge carrier delocalization or extraction is essential for performance
