It's also very expensive, both to buy or to make, a small yield production plant would probably cost ten times the operation costs of a mass production plant. I.e. You can't get h2o2 via electrolysis of h2o (maybe via electrlysis of h2so4?)
H2O2 spontaneously decomposes to 2H2O + O2 Not H2 + O2 you're getting oxygen rich steam out of the reaction.
One way to increase the efficiency of such an h2o2 cycle would be to mix a stable concentration of water, hydrogen peroxide and a hydrocarbon such as soybean oil together, and expose to a silver catalyst, causing the hydrocarbon to burn with the remaining O2 molecule after decomposition, auto-ignighting the secondary fuel.
Secondly, unless you know where and how to obtain hydrogen peroxide in anything higher than 35% concentrations, you'll have to make it yourself. I think I came to the conclusion the last time I did this research, that careful, CLEAN vacuum distillation was the only (relatively) safe way to do this.
