Density functional theory is used to understand the electronic properties of Na1/3CoO2 and Na1/3CoO2(H2O)(4/3). Comparing the charge density of CoO2 and the Na doped phases indicates that doping does not simply add electrons to the t(2g) states. In fact, the electron added in the t(2g) state is dressed by hole density in the e(g) state and electron density in the oxygen states via rehybridization. In order to fully understand this phenomenon, a simple extension of the Hubbard Hamiltonian is proposed and solved using the dynamical mean-field theory. This model confirms that the rehybridization is driven by a competition between the on-site Coulomb interaction and the hybridization, and results in an effective screening of the low-energy excitations. Finally, we show that hydration causes the electronic structure to become more two dimensional.
