Misfit-layered Ca₃Co₄O₉ crystals were grown and characterized via XRD, SEM, and photo-emission spectroscopy (PES). The evolution of the intensity at the Fermi level (E F) with varying oxygen content was studied by PES. Oxygen species were successfully introduced and removed through O⁺ and H⁺ microwave-plasma (2.45 GHz, 2–5 mbar) treatments, respectively. A 5 min O⁺ plasma exposure was observed to result into a drastic enhancement in the E F intensity, demonstrating the influence of oxygen content to the charge carrier population in layered cobalt-oxide materials.
