Disclosed are photoconductive elements including a conductive support, e.g., an electrically conductive film, drum, or belt, on which a negatively chargeable photoconductive layer is disposed. An electrical barrier layer is disposed between the conductive support and the photoconductive layer. The barrier layer provides a high energy barrier to the injection of positive charges, but transports electrons under an applied electric field. In embodiments, the barrier layer can transport charge by electronic, or both electronic and ionic mechanisms, and, is not substantially affected by humidity changes. The barrier layer includes a polyester-co-imides, polyesterionomer-co-imides, or polyamide-co-imides having covalently bonded as repeat units in the polymer chain, aromatic tetracarbonylbisimide groups of the formula:
or
wherein Ar1 and Ar2 respectively represent tetravalent or trivalent aromatic groups of 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, and X is O, C(CF3)2, S=O or SO2.
所公开的光电导元件包括一个导电支架,例如导电薄膜、滚筒或皮带,在该支架上放置了可带负电的光电导层。导电支架和光电导层之间有一个电阻挡层。阻挡层为正电荷的注入提供高能量阻挡,但在外加电场作用下可传输电子。在具体实施中,阻挡层可以通过电子机制或电子和离子机制传输电荷,并且不受湿度变化的实质性影响。阻挡层包括聚酯-酰亚胺、聚酯-酰亚胺或聚酰胺-酰亚胺,它们在聚合物链中具有共价键合的重复单元,芳香族四羰基二酰亚胺基团的式为
或
其中 Ar1 和 Ar2 分别代表 6 至约 20 个碳原子的四价或三价芳香基团,X 为 O、C(CF3)2、S=O 或 SO2。
