Di-tert-butylperoxide or DTBP is a compound that will decompose aerobically and also anaerobically, making it a very interesting fuel source.
Decomposition reaction:
Two Canadian scientists, H. O. Pritchard and P. Q. E. Clothier, have demonstrated and suggested the use of DTBP in engines where oxygen is limited, since it will work whether or not oxygen is present.
