ABSTRACT:
A copper activated photoconductor is disclosed having reduced photosensitivity and the general formula X:Cu wherein X is selected from the group consisting of CdS, CdSe, and Cd(S,Se), and an iron content of from about 0.01% to about 0.05% by weight the presence of which reduces the photosensitivity of the photoconductor by about 30%.
A process is disclosed for reducing the photosensitivity of a photoconductor. The process involves forming a relatively uniform admixture consisting essentially of copper, iron, the copper and iron being added in amounts which result in a copper level of from about 0.01% to about 0.09% and an iron content of from about 0.01% to about 0.05% by weight in the final reduced photosensitive photoconductor, from about 3% to about 10% cadmium chloride, from about 2% to about 30% by weight Y wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of S, Se, and mixtures thereof, and the balance being the photoconductor having the formula X:Cu with X as described above, and wherein Y is the same as the anionic composition of the photoconductor. The admixture is heated at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a reduced photosensitive photoconductor material which is cooled under nitrogen to ambient temperature. The portion of the material having an average particle size no greater than about 3 microns is separated from the balance of the material, washed with water to remove any water soluble impurities and dried to form the final reduced photosensitive photoconductor.
