Highly dispersed Cu-base catalyst has been prepared via thermal decomposition of layered double hydroxides precursors. The XRD pattern and the HRTEM images of the as prepared catalyst confirmed the high dispersion of Cu and Fe ions. Results show that the catalyst has a relatively high selectivity of alkanes at low temperature.
