AB  - Catalytic methane splitting produces CO2-free H2 from renewable CH4, since the C is captured as a solid. The feasibility of the process heavily relies on the catalyst stability and final application of the carbon. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are high value products, decreasing the H2 cost, and can be grown on non-toxic and easily available Fe catalysts. Simultaneously achieving high H2 productivity and controlling the quality of CNTs, which will mark a major advancement in catalytic methane splitting research, is, however, still challenging. The aim of this work is to develop Fe-based catalysts with active species able to grow CNTs from the base to avoid the loss of active phase during the reaction. To achieve this, hydrotalcite-derived catalysts were employed to exploit the metal-support interaction and dispersion of Fe species in an oxidic matrix. A moderately loaded, 20 wt
