Wouldn't surprise me. I used the ceramic core catalytic converter element
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter#/media/File:Pot_catalytique_vue_de_la_structure.jpg)
in a carbon/steam methane generator, and it held up well despite a really
aggressive flow environment. I don't know if that was the kind of catalyst
system Ventura tried for peroxide, but it's one I would have.

If (dim) memory serves, the ERPS folks tried catalytic-converter beads
(from the old pellet-bed converters), and found that at first they seemed
to work -- and could handle very-high-concentration peroxide -- but in
repeated use they gradually lost physical strength and started to crumble.
Something about the peroxide environment was harsher than car exhaust.
