To have it deflagrate as a propellant you need to pre-decompose the H2O2,
monopropellant wise, in a controlled manner with a catalyst bed in order to
set free its oxygen as a gas,
No you don't, you are still talking out of your ass. Many monopropellants

Hello everyone,
I have been lurking this list for quite a now,
but not until recently had I read the discussions on peroxide propulsion.
Leaving the supply problems aside, some have expressed doubts about being
able to run a hydrogen peroxide-hydrocarbon rocket engine in a direct mode
without a catalyst bed.
Why is that? Could any of you name some
projects where it was attempted and found to be impossible or too
difficult? I know a lot of you have direct experience with this so I was
hoping some of you might help me clear some doubts. Perhaps a high
characteristic length coupled with hypergolic ignition could work for this
application, or not.
Well, I can't wait to see what many of you have
to say.
Cheers,
IB
