contents Kagome lattice materials have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing topological properties and potential applications in next-generation quantum and spintronic technologies. In particular, rare-earth permanent magnets with Kagome structure provide an ideal platform that combines robust magnetism with nontrivial quantum phenomena. However, their anomalous transport properties, particularly thermoelectric responses, remain insufficiently explored. In this work, we perform systematic first-principles calculations on the anomalous Hall and anomalous Nernst effects in Kagome permanent magnets RCo5 (R = Ce, La, Sm, Gd). We find that CeCo5 exhibits a pronounced anomalous Hall conductivity of about 1500 Omega^-1 cm^-1 while GdCo5 displays a substantial anomalous Nernst conductivity of 11 A m^-1 K^-1 within +/- 0.1 eV of the Fermi energy, both comparable to or surpassing the measured intrinsic values reported in many typical Weyl and Heusler magnets. These exceptional anomalous transport properties originate from Berry curvature hotspots near spin-orbit coupling induced band gaps. If validated, these theoretical predictions would be important for Berry-curvature-driven transport in magnetic intermetallics. Our results establish RCo5 compounds as versatile platforms for exploring Berry curvature-driven transport in tunable magnetic topological materials.
