Claim Text:
1. An intermediate transfer member for electrophotography, comprising a surface layer having a surface for carrying toner, wherein: the surface layer contains the surface layer has a ratio of a number of atoms of an element derived from the electro-conductive inorganic particles to a total number of atoms to be detected through analysis of the surface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of 2.5 atomic % or more and 10 atomic % or less; and in an analysis of the surface of the surface layer by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, a peak is detected at a position corresponding to a mass-to-charge ratio [m/z] of one of m/z=71 and m/z=85.
