Abstract

An electrophotographic imaging member comprising a substrate, a ground plane layer comprising a titanium metal layer contiguous to the substrate, a charge blocking layer contiguous to the titanium layer, a charge generating binder layer and a charge transport layer. This photoreceptor may be prepared by providing a substrate in a vacuum zone, sputtering a layer of titanium metal on the substrate in the absence of oxygen to deposit a titanium metal layer, applying a charge blocking layer, applying a charge generating binder layer and applying a charge charge transport layer. If desired, an adhesive layer may be interposed between the charge blocking layer and the photoconductive insulating layer.
