A system and method of harvesting energy are provided using a geometric diode and antenna. The geometric diode includes a start portion, end portion, and neck portion joining the start portion and end portion. The geometric diode tapers laterally inward at the neck portion, which defines the narrowest point of the geometric diode. The antenna includes first and second halves forming a bow-tie shape, with inner ends of the antenna contacting respective laterally opposite sides of the neck portion of the geometric diode. A method of using the geometric diode includes harvesting electromagnetic energy such as infrared, microwave, or terahertz radiation through the antenna and into the geometric diode. Example materials used include gold for the antenna. The geometric antenna may be formed from tungsten disulfide, boron nitride, perovskite, molybdenum disulfide, or a MXene nanomaterial composed of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides.
