Photoconductive charging processes

An ozone free process for the ionic conduction charging of photoconductive imaging members which comprises contacting an ionically conductive liquid and wherein said liquid is comprised of water with the surface of the imaging member, and applying a voltage to the water while moving the imaging member thereby enabling the transfer of ions to said member, wherein movement is by rotation at high speeds of from about 0.1 inch to about 50 inches per second of said imaging members, transfer of ions results from the application of an electric field or an impressed voltage across the water imaging member interface, and the water is delivered to the imaging member by sponge, a open cell foam, a roll, a blade, and/or a wick, and wherein said water is distilled water wherein the liquid is delivered to the imaging member by a sponge, an open cell foam, a roll, a blade and/or a wick.
