Vapour phase H2O2 decomposition on Mn based monolithic catalysts synthesized by innovative procedures

- H2O2 decomposition for propulsive applications is studied in a flow vapour phase.
- Monolithic catalysts are prepared by sol-gel coating, precipitation and impregnation.
- The redox properties of the catalysts are strongly influenced by the preparation method.
- High catalytic activity is found at T = 200 °C, GHSV = 2.00 s−1, 11.3 mol% H2O2.
- An autocatalytic effect is explained by a radical chain mechanism.
