چکیده
This paper presents a study of the national electric power, showing the Brazil consumes electricity in a year and how much you could save if thermoelectric modules were used in some industries and new cars and planes to capture and transformation of residual thermal energy into electrical energy. The conclusion appears really attractive economically, given the fact that many processes generate residual thermal energy and also energy cogeneration using thermoelectric modules is totally clean, which prevents the emission of greenhouse gases to the environment.

Development of thermoelectric materials based on Fe2VAl Heusler compound for energy harvesting applications
The Heusler-type Fe2VAl compound is a nonmagnetic semimetal with a sharp pseudogap at the Fermi level. Doping of quaternary elements causes a large enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient, in parallel with a significant decrease in the electrical resistivity. Since the Seebeck coefficient varies systematically with the valence electron concentration (VEC), irrespective of doping elements, the ne...
