Patent ID: 7700250

Claim:
A photoconductor consisting essentially of a photogenerating layer, and at least one charge transport layer comprised of at least one charge transport component, and wherein said photogenerating layer is comprised of a chelating agent and a titanyl phthalocyanine, wherein said titanyl phthalocyanine is Type V titanyl phthalocyanine, and wherein the Type V titanyl phthalocyanine has an X-ray diffraction pattern having characteristic diffraction peaks at a Bragg angle 2Θ ±0.20° at about 9.0°, 9.6°, 24.0°, and 27.2°; wherein said chelating agent is selected from at least one of the group comprised of lactamide, lactic acid, salts of lactic acid, glycolamide, glycolic acid, salts of glycolic acid, acetyl acetone, 2,4-heptanedione, methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, propyl acetoacetate, butyl acetoacetate, butyric acid, salicylic acid, maleic acid, methyl lactate, ethyl salicylate, ethyl maleate, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, triethanolamine, oxamide, and succinamide; and said photoconductor includes a substrate of a flexible belt, said photogenerating layer is situated between said at least one charge transport layer and said substrate, said at least one charge transport layer is from 1 to about 3 layers, said chelating agent is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 10 weight percent, said photogenerating layer and said charge transport layer each contain a resin binder, and wherein the photoconductor further includes a hole blocking layer and an adhesive layer situated between said substrate and said photogenerating layer.
