The blending of π-conjugated molecules with polymeric semiconductors into a composite system is an effective strategy to promote charge carrier mobility because of the transmission path by the conductive polymers through electrical bridge connection of the small organic molecule crystalline domain. In this work, pentacene single crystal was prepared to induce the conjugated polymer chain alignment of polymeric semiconductor PDPP2T-TT-OD to form the semiconducting composite, which led to enhanced field-effect mobility of the organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) by improving the crystallinity due to nucleation and growth phase separation. Besides, with the addition of anti-solvents, the crystallization of the blend film was further improved, 27 times higher than that of a pure polymer semiconductor–based OTFT. That was because the pentacene nuclei induced polymer crystallization through π-π interactions and the addition of anti-solvent promoted the aggregation of polymer chains in solution, enabling the molecular chains packed more closely in solid films. Therefore, the chain arrangement of polymers induced via small molecular single crystals provides a new idea to improve mobility in composite semiconductor thin films for the construction of novel organic optoelectronic devices.
