z-stoff is a catalyst (aqueous potassium permanganate) that decomposes t-stoff (stabilized hydrogen peroxide).

The early "cold" engines were monoprop engines that just decomposed t-stoff and shot the steam out a nozzle. Later "hot" engines sprayed c-stoff (hydrazine and alcohol) into the hot steam exhaust for extra thrust. This weird line about early me-163s being powered by z-stoff alone shows up in a bunch of wiki pages related to the me-163 or german rocketry. The me-163 page itself is correct though, weirdly.
