H2O2 - O2 characteristics?

[MattWriter]

Does anyone use an engine burning H2O2 with O2? Just wondered what those
characteristics might be.

Thanks,

There are no peroxide/kerosene systems currently in operational use,
although it has been done in the past and there are several proposals for
new systems using that combination. It scores very well on handling ease
and safety, and on propellant density, but not so well on Isp.
