PURPOSE:To obtain an electrophotographic sensitive body having high sensitivity and superior durability and giving a clear image by forming an electrically conductive intermediate layer of NiP-Co on an electrically conductive substrate of Al or the like by electroless composite plating and by forming a photoconductive layer on the intermediate layer. CONSTITUTION:A thin NiP-Co film 4 and a photoconductive layer 3 are successively formed on an electrically conductive substrate 1 of Al or the like. The NiP-Co film is formed by adding Co particles to a warm bath contg. equimolar amounts of Ni and P compounds and a suitable complexing agent, immersing the substrate in the bath with stirring, and depositing Co in NiP by chemical reduction and compounding action. The NiP-Co film has superior uniformity, high adhesion and few pinholes. Though the thickness of the film is freely regulated, when the film is used as an element of an electrophotographic sensitive body, the thickness is required to be regulated to about 0.1-30mum. |
