ABSTRACTDisclosed is a photoconductor of the cadmium sulfide/cadmium carbonate type which contains cadmium oxide in therange of .05 to 1.5 mole per cent. The calcination of thisphotoconductor is performed at the relatively high temperaturerange of approximately 250 degrees C to 310 degrees C in aninert atmosphere or in air, with between 265 degrees C to290 degrees C being preferred. The resultant photoconductor,which can be used in both toner transfer and chargetransfer electrophotography, has a higher photographicspeed, faster discharge of residual charge, and lessdegradation of electrophotographic properties, particularlycharge acceptance, at high humidities.
