MISSION STATEMENTThe company Mo6 was formed with the aim to commercialize synthesis of transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) nano-materials and develop new applications based on this important new class of nanomaterials.
BACKGROUNDIn April 2001, the discovery of a new class of nanowire materials based on transition metal chalcogenide-halides was reported (1). Subsequent research on the molybdenum-sulphur-iodine system lead to the discovery of a new class of nanowire materials with the formula Mo6S9-xIx (whence MoSIx®), where S and I can appear in different proportions (2).

A manufacturing technology breakthrough in 2003 enabled easy and efficient synthesis of pure MoSIx nanowires. Excellent functional properties of MoSIx, combined with the ease of synthesis and intrinsic absence of impurities are expected to lead to widespread applications of MoSIx in diverse areas.
