A rechargeable metal halide battery with an optimized active cathode electrolyte solution has high energy density and does not require charging following fabrication. The optimized active cathode electrolyte solution includes (i) a mixture of a metal halide and its corresponding halogen dissolved in an organic solvent at a concentration ratio greater than 0.5 and (ii) an oxidizing gas. The organic solvent is a nitrile-based compound and/or a heterocyclic compound. Glyme may be added to the organic solvent to improve battery performance.

Liquid cathode formulation for rechargeable metal halide battery

Provided is a fluorine-containing polymer which has no perfluoroalkyl group of 4 or more carbon atoms and which, when formed together with a photoacid generator into a film, shows water repellency after film formation, but becomes hydrophilic by the action of an acid generated under light irradiation, and thus serves as a pattern forming material capable of forming a film with high sensitivity and resolution. A fluorine-containing polymer according to the present invention has a repeating unit of the formula (1) where Ris a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom or a C-Calkyl group; Rto Rare each independently a hydrogen atom or a C-Calkyl group; X is a single bond or a divalent group; Y is a C-Cfluoroalkyl or carboxylate (&#x2014;COOR) group; R is a C-Cfluoroalkyl group; and seven or less of hydrogen atoms contained in the substituent group may be substituted with fluorine.
