A graphene based geometrical diodes coupled with nanoantennas for infrared (IR) energy harvesting has been introduced. The geometrical diode is an electronic device in which the current flow through it is controlled by its geometry. The I–V characteristics of the graphene based geometrical diodes are calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation. Different shapes of graphene geometrical diodes, arrowhead, modified staircase, and quarter-elliptical geometries have been examined. The equivalent impedance, capacitance, and responsitivity of each geometric diode have been calculated. The radiation characteristics of nanoantenna designed at 20.5 THz have been investigated. The IR harvesting using nanoantenna coupled with the graphene geometric diode has been calculated and interpreted. Full-wave simulation for the nanoantenna coupled to the geometric diode has been introduced. The DC voltage collected by the nanoantenna and rectified using the geometrical diode has been calculated.
