PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a solid black image portion by reversal development, which is likely to occur in high-speed copying or low-temperature and low-humidity environments, and caused by a reduction in sensitivity when forming an electrophotographic image. An electrophotographic photosensitive member capable of stably obtaining a high-density, high-resolution, clear electrophotographic image by preventing a decrease in image density due to potential fluctuations and a decrease in sharpness due to occurrence of character thinning, and the like An object of the present invention is to provide a process cartridge, an image forming method, and an image forming apparatus using a photoconductor. SOLUTION: When the composition ratio of the compound of the maximum component of the mixed compound having the chemical structure of the following general formula (1) and having a distribution based on n is x, the composition ratio of the compound of the 2-position component is y. An electrophotographic photosensitive member containing a mixed compound having x + y of 99% or less and having a crosslinked structure. General formula (1) X- (CTM group) n -Y [Selection figure] None |
