The present invention provides an electrophotographic photoconductor which
includes at least a photosensitive layer and a surface protective layer
over a support, wherein the surface protective layer contains a filler, a
charge transporting material and a specific compound; and the
photosensitive layer contains at least a charge transporting material;
the charge transporting material contained in the photosensitive layer
has an oxidation potential lower than the oxidation potential of the
charge transporting material contained in the surface protective layer
and is a specific compound.
