Abstract Fully dense hot-pressed calcium cobalt oxide (Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 ) pellet exhibits textures with Lotgering factor of unity and supports the ideally aligned (00 l ), l = 2, 3, 4, 5 crystallographic planes associated in the ceramics. The DC electrical conductivity of the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 pellets connected to metal/Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 -pellet/metal device structures in vertical and lateral configurations follow Mott's variable range hopping. The exhibition of anisotropic ratio of ~ 10 between the room temperature conductivity values in both the structures, reveal the presence of partially oriented textured grains in the currently developed Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 ceramics.
