Lead.
Both plates are lead. Antimony is typically used to alloy with lead to make it structurally stronger.
It is lead. That is why such batteries are called lead-acid battery. The chemical make up of the plates in a car battery changes dependant on the amount of charge in the battery. Fully Charged is + plate = lead peroxide or PbO2, -plate = spongy lead or Pb Discharge both the + plate and - plate are Lead Sulphate or PbSO4 Electrolyte is made of Sulphuric acid and distilled water. H2SO4 SDS
Almost all car batteries are "lead acid" type batteries. These type of batteries use thin lead plates and are immersed in Sulfuric acid which acts as an electrolyte.
Lead is the only element. all others are compounds.
No, car batteries use lead for both plates. When charged the positive plate becomes white lead oxide.

Yes, sometimes the lead plates will develop a short between themselves.
Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium Ion batteries are the most widely used.
