(57) [Summary] [Purpose] There is little increase in residual potential after repeated use, Also, to provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor having good electrostatic properties and excellent electrostatic characteristics. [Structure] In an electrophotographic photoreceptor having at least a photosensitive layer on a conductive substrate, a layer containing fullerenes (spherical shell carbon allotrope) is provided. At this time, the layer containing the fullerenes may be any layer such as a single-layer photosensitive layer, a laminated photosensitive layer (charge generation layer, charge transfer layer), an intermediate layer and a surface protective layer. |
