Measurements by high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS) of NaxCoO2 reveal spectral features that differ remarkably between the metallic Na0.33CoO2 and the charge-ordered insulator Na0.5CoO2. Calculations by density functional theory plus Hubbard U (DFT+U) demonstrate that these differences arise essentially from the relatively greater strength of electron correlation in addition to the crystal-field effect in Na0.5CoO2. The effective U values are estimated to be ~3.0eV for x=0.5 and ~1.0eV for x=0.33, respectively. The electronic structures for these correlation strengths give good interpretations for the physical properties observed in the materials.
