Description
Summary:Dual-layered photoreceptors incorporating τ-form metal-free phthalocyanine (τ-H2Pc) for charge generation material and poly(methylphenylsilylene)(PMPS) for charge transport material(CTM) have been studied concerning their electric properties especially in the electrophotographic characteristics. The photoreceptor using PMPS exhibited high sensitivity; however, the fatigue due to ultraviolet(UV) light was observed. We compared them with well-known poly(N-vinylcarbazole) for CTM based on surface potentials, sensitivities, hole carrier mobilities, and conductivities. As a result of Gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra before and after UV light irradiation, the PMPS was cleaved into lower molecular weight products and polymerized, which included cross-linking.
