Abstract: An electrophotographic imaging member is disclosed having an imaging surface adapted to accept a negative electrical charge, the electrophotographic imaging member comprising a metal ground plane layer comprising zirconium, a hole blocking layer, a charge generation layer comprising photoconductive particles dispersed in a film forming resin binder, and a hole transport layer, the hole transport layer being substantially non-absorbing in the spectral region at which the charge generation layer generates and injects photogenerated holes but being capable of supporting the injection of photogenerated holes from the charge generation layer and transporting the holes through the charge transport layer.

Abstract: A process for preparing an electrophotographic imaging member comprising providing a photogenerating layer on a supporting substrate and applying a charge transport layer forming mixture to the photogenerating layer, the charge transport layer forming mixture comprising a charge transporting aromatic amine compound of one or more compounds having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an aromatic group selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, naphthyl group, and polyphenyl group and R.sup.
