Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method are provided for a vertical two-terminal nanotube or microtube device configured to capture and generate energy, to store electrical energy, and to integrate these functions with power management circuitry. The vertical device can include a column disposed in a template material extending from one side of the template material to the other side of the template material. Further, the device can include a first material disposed within the column, a second material disposed within the column, and a third material disposed in the column. A variety of configurations, variations, and modifications are provided.
