- the charge transport layer 4 contains an inorganic oxide filler surface-treated with a silane coupling agent.
- Inorganic oxide fillers include alumina, zirconia, titanium oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide and the like, in addition to those containing silica as a main component, and these usually have a hydroxyl group on the surface during use. Therefore, when inorganic oxide fillers are mixed in the coating solution as they are, they tend to aggregate with each other, but by treating the surface of the inorganic oxide with a silane coupling agent, silane coupling to the hydroxyl group on the surface of the inorganic oxide is possible.
- the agent can be combined to reduce the cohesiveness of the inorganic oxide itself and to increase the compatibility with the resin binder and the charge transport material in the coating solution.
- a hydroxyl group may remain on the surface depending on the degree of surface treatment, which causes aggregation.
- an inorganic oxide mainly composed of silica is preferable.

- a method using an alkoxide as a silica precursor as a raw material are known.
- the purity of the silica is high because the cohesiveness of the silica is improved, and as a result, an increase in aggregates in the coating solution and the photosensitive layer is caused. Therefore, the content of metals other than the metal elements constituting the inorganic oxide is preferably controlled to 1000 ppm or less for each metal element.
- the surface treatment agent reacts with the hydroxyl group present on the surface of the silica, but if the silica contains a trace amount of other metal elements, it is adjacent to the other metal elements present on the silica surface due to the influence of the electronegativity difference between the metals. Reactivity of silanol group (hydroxyl group) is improved. Since this hydroxyl group is highly reactive with the surface treatment agent, it reacts more strongly with the surface treatment agent than other hydroxyl groups, and if remaining, causes aggregation.
- the surface treatment agent After the reaction of these surface treatment agents, the surface treatment agent reacts with other hydroxyl groups, so that the cohesiveness between silicas is reduced due to the effect of the surface treatment agent and the effect of reducing the surface charge bias due to the different metal on the surface. It is thought that it will be greatly improved.
- the inorganic oxide contains a trace amount of other metals because the reactivity of the surface treatment agent becomes better and as a result, the dispersibility by the surface treatment is improved. It can be said that the improvement in agglomeration in the case where a large amount of the foreign metal is present as an impurity and the improvement in dispersibility due to the inclusion of a very small amount of another metal are due to different mechanisms.
- silica it is suitable for surface treatment if an aluminum element is added in the range of 1000 ppm or less. Adjustment of the amount of aluminum element in silica can be carried out using the methods described in JP-A-2004-143028, JP-A-2013-224225, etc., as long as it can be controlled within a desired range.
- the adjustment method is not particularly limited.
- examples of a method for more suitably controlling the amount of aluminum element on the silica surface include the following methods. First, when producing silica fine particles, there is a method for controlling the amount of aluminum on the silica surface by, for example, adding aluminum alkoxide as an aluminum source after growing the silica particles in a shape smaller than the target silica particle diameter.
- silica fine particles are placed in a solution containing aluminum chloride, the surface of the silica fine particles is coated with an aluminum chloride solution, and this is dried and fired, or a mixed gas of an aluminum halide compound and a silicon halide compound is used. There is a method of reacting.
- the structure of silica is known to have a network-like bonded structure in which a plurality of silicon atoms and oxygen atoms are connected in a ring, and when an aluminum element is included, the number of atoms constituting the silica ring structure is Due to the effect of mixing aluminum, it becomes larger than ordinary silica. Due to this effect, the steric hindrance when the surface treatment agent reacts with the hydroxyl group on the silica surface containing aluminum element is relaxed compared to the normal silica surface, and the reactivity of the surface treatment agent is improved.
- the surface-treated silica has improved dispersibility as compared with the case where the same surface treating agent is reacted with the silica.
- silica by a wet method is more suitable for controlling the amount of aluminum element.
- the content of the aluminum element with respect to silica is preferably 1 ppm or more in consideration of the reactivity of the surface treatment agent.
