Multi-component active materials are widely used for organic electronic devices, with every component contributing complementary and synergistic optoelectronic functions. Mixing these components generally leads to lowered crystallinity and weakened charge transport. Therefore, preparing the active materials without substantially disrupting the crystalline lattice is highly desired. In this paper, we show that crystallization of TIPS-pentacene from solutions in the presence of fluorescent nanofibers of a perylene bisimide derivative (PBI) leads to formation of composites with nanofiber guest incorporated in the crystal host. In spite of the binary composite structure, the TIPS-pentacene maintains the single-crystalline nature. As a result, the incorporation of the PBI guest introduces additional fluorescence function but does not significantly reduce the charge transport property of the TIPS-pentacene host, exhibiting field-effect mobility as high as 3.34 cm² V^-1 s^-1 even though 26.4% of the channel area is taken over by the guest. Finally, as such, this work provides a facile approach toward high-performance multifunctional organic electronic materials.
