Layered cobaltates represent a family of strongly correlated systems with quite unusual properties. In particular, they exhibit the strong mass and low-temperature-conductivity renormalization in the high-doping regime. We present an explanation for the puzzling spectral and transport properties of layered cobaltates close to the band-insulator limit, which relies on the key effect of charge ordering. Blocking a significant fraction of the lattice sites deeply modifies the electronic structure in a way that is shown to be quantitatively consistent with photoemission experiments. It also makes the system highly sensitive to interactions (especially to intersite ones), hence accounting for the strong correlations effects observed in this regime, such as the high effective mass and quasiparticle scattering rate. These conclusions are supported by a theoretical study of an extended Hubbard model with a realistic band structure on an effective kagome lattice.
