Electronic device and method for producing the same, image forming method, and image forming apparatus

An electronic device, comprising:

• a support;
• a charge-transporting layer including a charge-transporting material, or a sensitizing-dye electrode layer including a sensitizing dye, where the charge-transporting layer or the sensitizing dye electrode layer is disposed on or above the support;
• and
• a metal oxide layer disposed on or above the charge-transporting layer or the sensitizing-dye electrode layer,
• wherein the metal oxide layer includes p-type semiconductor metal oxide and silica or p-type semiconductor metal oxide and metal oxide particles,
• an amount of the silica or metal oxide particles included in the metal oxide layer is 0.5% by mass or greater but 1.5% by mass or less relative to a total mass of the metal oxide layer,
• the p-type semiconductor metal oxide is delafossite oxide which is copper aluminium oxide.
