Electrophotographic photoreceptor, image forming apparatus, image forming method, production method of electrophotographic photoreceptor

A method for forming an electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive support sequentially laminated thereon with at least a photosensitive layer and a protective layer in that order,

• the method comprising the step of:
• curing a composition having a radical polymerizable compound for a binder, a charge transport agent having a radical polymerizable functional group, and a photopolymerization initiator by irradiating with UV rays to form the protective layer,
• wherein the charge transport agent having a radical polymerizable functional group has a maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 405±50 nm, and
• the charge transport agent having a radical polymerizable functional group and the photopolymerization initiator satisfy Formula (A),
• ΔG=Eox(D/D+)−Ered(A−/A)−E*≤−0.2 (eV) Formula (A):
• wherein, ΔG represents a free energy difference, Eox(D/D+) represents an oxidation potential of the charge transport agent having a radical polymerizable functional group, Ered(A−/A) represents a reduction potential of the photopolymerization initiator, and E* represents an excitation energy of the charge transport agent having a radical polymerizable functional group.
