The price of Molybdenum was about $30 per pound during 2007 and has presently fallen to about $5. One reason I bring Moly's pricing up, is that Molybdenum disulfide (Mos2) was said to be 37 cents a pound in the above link.
Could it be that Molybdenum disulfide (Mos2) is a low cost extract of Molybdenum ir was the price incorrectly quoted? Also in the subject article, platinum's price was incorrectly quoted in grams.
In any event the article was very interesting and mentioned the research undertaken at the Sandia National Laboratory.
Excerpt:
If MoS2 is ringing bells, that’s because the material is emerging as a 2D “cousin” of graphene, and research teams have been investigating it for energy storage as well as renewable hydrogen production and other clean tech applications.
