TEC are based on thermoelectric devices, and these in turn, are based on the Peltier effect, which is the production of a difference in temperature when an electric current is applied to a junction formed by two non-similar materials. This is one of the three thermoelectric effects and is a typical semiconductor junction phenomenon. The thermoelectric efficiency, known as Z thermoelectric or merit figure is a parameter that measures the quality of a thermoelectric device. It depends directly on electrical conductivity and inversely on the thermal conductivity. Therefore, good thermoelectric devices have typically high values of electrical conductivity and low values of thermal conductivity. One of the most common materials in the composition of thermoelectric devices is the semiconductor bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys. Peltier plates made up by crystals of semiconductor P-type and N-type are commercially available for various applications in thermoelectric systems. In this work, we characterize the electrical properties of bismuth telluride through conductivity/resistivity of the material, and X-rays power diffraction and magnetoresistance measurements. The results were compared with values taken from specific literature. Moreover, two techniques of material preparation, and applications in refrigerators, are discussed / Refrigeradores Termoel?tricos (TEC Thermoelectric Cooling) s?o bombas de calor de estado s?lido usados em aplica??es onde estabiliza??o de ciclos de temperatura ou para resfriamentos abaixo da temperatura ambiente s?o requeridos. Os TEC s?o baseados em dispositivos termoel?tricos e, estes, por sua vez s?o baseados no efeito Peltier, que consiste na produ??o de um diferencial de temperatura quando uma corrente el?trica ? aplicada a uma jun??o formada por dois materiais diferentes. Este efeito ? um dos tr?s efeitos termoel?tricos e ? um fen?meno t?pico de jun??o. A efici?ncia termoel?trica, conhecida como Z termoel?trico ou a figura de m?rito ? um par?metro que mede a qualidade de um dispositivo termoel?trico. Ele depende diretamente da condutividade el?trica e do inverso da condutividade t?rmica. Assim, bons dispositivos termoel?tricos devem apresentar valores elevados de condutividade el?trica e baixa condutividade t?rmica. Um dos materiais mais comuns na composi??o de dispositivos termoel?tricos ? o semicondutor telureto de bismuto (Bi2Te3) e suas ligas. Placas Peltier composta por cristais tipo P e Tipo N deste semicondutor s?o dispon?veis comercialmente para diversas aplica??es em sistemas termoel?tricos. Neste trabalho buscou-se caracterizar propriedades f?sicas de amostras de telureto de bismuto, extra?das de placas Peltier, atrav?s das medidas de condutividade/resistividade do material, de medidas de raios X e de magnetoresist?ncia. Os resultados foram comparados com valores da literatura da ?rea. Al?m disso, descrevemos duas t?cnicas de prepara??o destes semicondutores e discutimos aplica??es em refrigeradores
