Although certain materials such as tetracene can support this process, capturing these excitons efficiently has proven difficult.

Unlike silicon, when tetracene receives a high-energy photon, it splits the resulting excitons into two lower-energy excitations in a process known as singlet fission.
From Science Daily • Feb. 27, 2024
By placing a carefully designed interface layer between tetracene and silicon, the resulting low-energy excitons can be transferred from tetracene into silicon, where most of their energy can be converted into electricity.

While several methods are being investigated, Schmidt's team has focused on using a molecule-thin layer of tetracene, another organic semiconductor material, as the top layer of a solar cell.
From Science Daily • Feb. 27, 2024
Schmidt: "Such defects occur during the desorption of hydrogen and cause electronic interface states with fluctuating energy. These fluctuations transport the electronic excitations from the tetracene into the silicon like a lift."
