Potential new use for Moly
Molybdenum disulfide (Mos2) could produce low cost hydrogen

The price of Molybdenum was about $30 per pound during 2007 and has presently fallen to about $4.60 . 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. Is Molybdenum disulfide (Mos2) a lower cost extract of Molybdenum or was the price was incorrectly quoted in the above link? Also the above article, incorrectly quoted platinum's price at $ 1,500 per gram.
Perhaps they were just typos. In any event the article was very interesting and mentioned the research undertaken at 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.
