The kicker is, you have to deal with keeping the H2O2 cool, because it will detiorate when hot. If your going to use a catalyst, you may as well use Platinum / Palladium, because then you will not always be replacing it like you would with some powder. Other wise use electrolysis, then you could get full use of both the Hydrogen and the Oxygen. A very fine mist, injected into the cylinder or carburetor might work as well as the heat from the firing would split the Oxygen off and the resulting H2O would turn to steam, giving more expansion than just the combustion products alone.
I don't know if all the effort would be worth it though, because you would have the added expense of the H2O2 and the maintenance that would go with it, and there are allot of unknowns, such as what will happen to the H2O2 when subject to below freezing temps.?
