Abstract
There is described a novel method for forming a photoreceptor which includes a photogenerator layer comprising selenium and tellurium. According to the method, the photogenerator layer is formed by electrochemically codepositing selenium and tellurium onto a substrate from a solution of their ions in such a way that the relative amounts of selenium and tellurium which are deposited are controlled by their relative concentrations in the electrolyte and by the choice of electrochemical conditions, i.e., current density or electrode potential. Subsequently a layer of a material capable of transporting at least one species of charge carrier is deposited on the free surface of the photogenerator layer by any suitable technique.
