There is only "desu." "Des" is incorrect, and a misspelling.

"Kore" is "This," as in "What is this?" (Kore wa nan desu ka)
"Kono" is "This" as in "What is this thing?" (Kono mono wa nan desu ka)

Unlike "kore," "kono" needs another noun because "kono" is actually an adjective. "Kore" is a noun and so therefore can be used on its own.

Does this help?
