The LEEMONS (Low-Energy Electron Multiplication On Nanostructured Solar cells) project aims to enhance solar cell efficiency through an innovative electron multiplication process, which generates multiple low-energy electrons from high-energy photons. Fully compatible with 90% of current photovoltaic manufacturing lines, this solution offers a low-investment pathway toward more sustainable solar energy.

Our technology
Our Low-Energy Electron Multiplication (LEEM) technology leverages nanostructuring techniques derived from the microelectronics industry. Using Segton® units (engineered divacancy structures), it enables secondary electron generation, enhancing efficiency beyond the Shockley–Queisser limit. The process requires only two additional steps (ion implantation and annealing) which can be seamlessly integrated into existing solar cell manufacturing lines.
