It proved that the most destructive effects of the toxic Al3+ ion on the human nervous system and disease that are involved with this system, such as Alzheimer's. The development of solid-state electrodes is still in its infancy during the sensor-based detection methods for Al3+. Hence, in this study, a novel flexible ITO/PET-based electrochemical solid-state sensor was designed and constructed. Modification of the surface of electrode bedding was done by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of Mg–Al LDH. nanoplatelets along with alizarin red S (ARS) in an interconnected matrix film. In the molecular design of sensing base of the electrode, the electroactive organic units (ARS molecules) present in the ITO/PET-layered (ARS/LDHs)n matrix are involved in electrochemical reactions when exposed to the target molecule (Al3+ ion), so the electrochemical changes of the new formed Al-chelated system are detectable. This type of sensor is used for sensitive and selective detection of Al3+. The minimum sheet resistance, morphology and high electrocatalytic activity of the modified matrix film are obtained in the fifth cycle of LbL assembly technique. In this electrochemical sensor, both electrochemical and optical methods were detected with high sensitivity and selectivity of Al3+, so that in a cyclic voltammetry electrochemical method, the lower detection limit of 10.1 nM with a linear range of [0.2–120 μM] was obtained compared to the fluorescence-based optical method.

Cathodic electrocoatings were applied onto phosphated normal and galvanised steel substrates with average dry film thicknesses of 20 and 12 mm. To evaluate the anticorrosion properties of the coatings, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray tests were carried out on the samples. The results showed that, by increasing the curing temperature, the protective properties of electrocoated galvanised steel are improved to a higher extent compared to normal steel panels. This was indicated by a pore resistance of two orders of magnitude higher in the case of galvanised steel panels. At lower curing temperatures, the corrosion resistance of electrocoated normal steel panels is better than that of the galvanised steel, indicated by a two orders of magnitude higher pore resistance value. On the other side, the salt spray test could not recognise the difference between protective properties of different coating films on galvanised steel suitably, and this is one of the notable disadvantages of this test.
