Chalcogels

Physorg.com reports on a new class of chalcogels that is twice as active in hydrodesulfurization as the conventional catalysts currently used in HDS. Invented by Mercouri Kanatzidis and Santanu Bag of Northwestern University, the new chalcogels exhibit other properties that can be applied in other areas of concern.

According to Physorg.com, details of the cobalt-molybdenum-sulfur chalcogel and its properties will be published online May 17 by the journal Nature Chemistry. This is the first report of chalcogels being used for catalysis and gas separation.

Bios of Kanatzidis and Bag appear on the Northwestern site. Both researchers also have accounts on LinkedIn.
