Abstract

An electrophotographic photoconductor having an electrically conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer formed on the conductive substrate is provided wherein the photosensitive layer comprises a layer that contains titanyl oxyphthalocyanine as a photoconductive material, and alkyl polyol that is diol or higher polyol and has hydroxyl groups for every three carbon atoms in a main chain of the alkyl polyol. The content of the alkyl polyol is controlled such that the amount of the hydroxyl groups of the alkyl polyol is in a range of 0.1 mol to 100 mol per 1 mol of titanyl oxyphthalocyanine. A method of manufacturing this electrophotographic photoconductor is also disclosed.
