[SOLVED] Catalysts and Hydrogen Peroxide

LadiesMan

1. Can catalysts other than those found in living cells break down hydrogen peroxide?

Does anyone know of any sources I can get information on this question? I can't seem to find anything :(. Thanks

Don't most of the transition metals catalyze hydrogen peroxide's decomposition? Trying Googling specifically for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

A simple silver catalyst decomposes hydrogen peroxide - this was the basis of the British space program in the 60s, a rocket fueled solely by H2O2.

Kushal

a mixture of FeCl3 and NaOH acts as a catalyst for H2O2 decomposition.

thanks
