Trigonal selenium photoconductive element

An imaging member comprising a charge generation layer comprising a particulate photoconductive material comprising trigonal selenium dispersed in an organic resinous binder, said trigonal selenium containing a mixture of alkaline earth metal selenite and alkaline earth metal carbonate of from about 0.01 to about 12.0 percent total weight based on the weight of trigonal selenium wherein the ratio of the selenite to carbonate ranges from 90 to 10 parts by weight to 10 to 90 parts by weight and a contiguous charge transport layer, said photoconductive material exhibiting the capability of photogeneration of charge carriers and injection of said charge carriers and said charge transport layer being substantially nonabsorbing in the spectral region at which the photoconductive material generates and injects photo-generated charge carriers but being capable of supporting the injection of photogenerated charge carriers from said photoconductive material and transporting said charge carriers through said charge transport layer.
