<p>An electrophotographic photosensitive member capable of exhibiting stable potential characteristics and image forming performances under wide ranges of environmental conditions, is formed of an electroconductive support, and an intermediate layer and a photosensitive layer disposed in this order on the electroconductive support. The intermediate layer comprises a thermosetting resin and an organometallic compound, which may comprise a polymerizate of a compound represented by formula (1) below: (RO)m-M-(L)n wherein R denotes an alkyl group; M denotes aluminum, titanium, zirconium, germanium or silicon; L denotes an organic group; m and n are integers of at least 0 giving m+n = 3 in case of M being aluminum and m+n = 4 in case of M being titanium, zirconium, germanium or silicon. <IMAGE></p> |
