The xerographic property has been studied in the double-layered photorecept
or device where azo/TiOPc composite is used as the charge-generation materi
al (CGM) and p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde-alpha-naphthalenylphenylhydrazone (
DENPH) or p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde diphenylhydrazone (DMDPH) is used as
the charge-transportation material (CTM) under the exposure of various spec
tral regions. The results show that the azo/TiOPc composites exhibit high p
hotosensitivity not only in the visible and near-infrared regions, but also
in the entire spectral ranges, indicating the co-enhancement effect.. The
W-VIS spectra suggest that the absorption spectra of the azo/TiOPc composit
es are broadened. The composite mechanism is investigated through X-ray dif
fraction and ESR. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
