(n = 2, 4) at 350 °C for 30 min in air. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy indicated the composition of Sr, Ca, and Cu was not changed from the original materials and the C-K edge energy loss near edge structure was similar to that of CaCO3. It is likely that carbonate groups are incorporated either from air or secondary-phase grains into the pristine 0(Sr)2(n − 1)n structure to form the C
