isnt the definition of a catalyst that it does NOT change during the reaction.
what you describe here is a redox - reaction.
Hydrogen Peroxide is nearly decomposed with every substance. you dont really need a catalyst for that.

aquious catalysts work pretty much the same way as any other catalyst. the only difference is the homogeneous phase instead of the heterogenous one.
