Here, we developed a Ni-Fe/CeO<sub>2</sub>/CNT catalyst and unveil the effect of Fe for steam reforming of toluene (SRT) which is a representative tar model compound. The catalyst demonstrated exceptional stability (above 80 % toluene conversion, 3000 mmol/g<sub>cat</sub>/h H<sub>2</sub> yield) over 50 h. The outstanding performance is attributed to the effect of Fe in forming Ni-Fe alloy with the highest reducibility, dispersion, Ni<sup>0</sup> ratio, and increased sintering resistance, alongside enhanced electron transfer between Ni and Fe. Fe also promotes H<sub>2</sub>O adsorption, providing active oxygen for toluene conversion and carbon elimination. Finally, reaction mechanism was explored based on the <em>in-situ</em> DRIFTS and DFT calculations. DFT calculations revealed that Fe sites exhibit higher density of states, electrostatic potential, and <em>d</em>-band center than Ni sites, facilitating H<sub>2</sub>O coordination. Fe doping reduces energy barriers for H<sub>2</sub>O splitting and methyl dehydrogenation, while Ni promotes H<sub>2</sub> desorption. The synergistic Ni-Fe interaction enables distinct activation of toluene and H<sub>2</sub>O, respectively. Comparative studies showed Ni/CeO<sub>2</sub>/CNT suffers from carbon deposition, while Fe/CeO<sub>2</sub>/CNT exhibits limited activity due to poor reducibility and low Fe<sup>0</sup> content.
