Description

Based on the example of a nanopowder system  ZrO2–3% mol  Y2O3 with atmospheric humidity interaction, the possibility 
of exothermic heterophase electrochemical energy conversion to electric energy is shown. Electrical properties and structure 
of the experimental sample were studied under gradient molecular Ძux density of humidity during sample saturation. The 
idea of development of the novel chemo-electronic converter device based on nanoscale dielectrics as  ZrO2–3% mol  Y2O3 
is proposed.
