On what basis do you make this claim? Platinum is almost completely uncatalytic to peroxide at room temperature. I can easily imagine a catalyst that perhaps requires a higher temperature to be catalytic that's considered "compatible" at anything below the boiling point of peroxide. It seems to me that being uncatalytic at temperatures at which it's reasonable to store peroxide is about all that's required to be considered compatible. Sure, there are other requirements, but this is the only one that's necessary to my argument. Certainly anything that had to be heated above the boiling point of peroxide before it was catalytic would be considered compatible.
