Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to an imaging member or photoreceptor which includes a blocking layer doped with quaternary ammonium salts containing long chain alkyl groups or polymeric structures to assist the transporting of photogenerated electrons. This invention pertains to an electrographic photosensitive material comprising a blocking layer, an electroconductive substrate layer and a charge generation layer, where the blocking layer comprises TiOwith an average particle size less than about 50 nm and a quaternary ammonium salt, and where the quaternary ammonium salt is uniformly distributed in the blocking layer and is less than about 5 wt % of the blocking layer. In another aspect, this invention pertains to an image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium comprising an imaging light having a wavelength and an organic photoreceptor having a blocking layer, an electroconductive substrate layer, and a charge generation layer, where the blocking layer comprises TiOparticles and a quaternary ammonium salt, and where the quaternary ammonium salt is uniformly distributed in the blocking layer and is less than about 5 wt % of the blocking layer.
