    Abstract: Hydrogen foams may be used for placing and maintaining hydrogen in a subterranean location. For example, methods for introducing hydrogen to a subterranean location may include: placing a hydrogen foam in a subterranean location, in which the hydrogen foam comprises a continuous phase generated from a foamable composition comprising an aqueous fluid and a discontinuous phase comprising at least hydrogen gas; and maintaining the hydrogen foam in the subterranean location.

    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a method of growing crystals on a QCM sensor may include treating a crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor with a coupling agent, applying a cation stream to the crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor, and applying an anion stream to the crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor. The crystals forming a crystal layer may have an average thickness greater than 5 nanometers. According to one or more embodiments, a QCM sensor may include a crystal layer on a crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor, where the crystal layer is formed by a process including treating the crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor with a coupling agent, applying a cation stream to the crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor, and applying an anion stream to the crystal growth surface of the QCM sensor.
