We applied highly sensitive time-resolved absorption spectroscopy to the study on the electronic structures and dynamics of ionic transient species in layered organic photoreceptors. Long-lived transient absorptions assignable to the cationic species of charge transport materials (CTMs) were observed in the visible, near- and mid-infrared wavelength regions. The bands in infrared region can be ascribed to the delocalized holes within some CTM molecules. We discuss the nature of ionic transients generated in photoreceptors.
