NiCADs date to the 60s in the forms we recognize but are from the 1800s. NiMHs first appeared for consumers in the late 80s. Rechargeable battery technology is quite old as far as electronics go.

A word of caution, don't put stuff like this on a shelf and be 100% certain it's going to work years later. NiCAD has the best chance, they're pretty stable devices.

You can make batteries out of metals and common household acids. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Chlorine-Battery/
