Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) provide a unique platform for probing the coupling between ionic and electronic transport in organic semiconductors. However, how interfacial functionalization can reshape channel transport remains insufficiently understood, particularly under bio-coupled conditions. Here, we introduce a mediator-based interfacial design concept for electrolyte*organic semiconductor systems incorporating amine-reactive functionality. Structural and electrical characterization verify the presence of the mediator and reveal modest modifications of steady-state transport characteristics. Notably, the mediator induces mesoscale interfacial organization that actively participates in reshaping channel transport. Time-resolved measurements across two enzyme-based systems demonstrate reproducible modulation of channel response, highlighting the involvement of mediator-assisted interfacial processes in mixed ionic*electronic transport. These results point to interfacial electronic structure and mesoscale organization as important factors in bio-coupled charge transport in OECT systems.
