Abstract
An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer provided on the conductive substrate, wherein an outermost surface layer of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is composed of a cured film of a composition containing a reactive charge transport material, a zinc stearate coverage of the surface of the outermost surface layer is 5.0% or more, and an oxygen permeability coefficient of the outermost surface layer before coating with zinc stearate is 2.0×1012 fm2/Pa·s or more.
