Mostly because they don't contain nickel, and especially cadmium - both very unpleasant environmental pollutants.
Some D batteries are made up of alkaline, zinc-carbon, lithium iron disulfide, nickel cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride.
Depends on the type of battery but lead, copper, lithium, nickel, cadmium, zinc, manganese
No, you should not replace nickel cadmium batteries with nickel metal hydride batteries interchangeably in a device designed for nickel cadmium batteries. They have different charging requirements and using the wrong type can damage the device. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for battery type.
NI-Cad (nickel-cadmium), NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride), and Lithium Ion
That depends on the type of battery. There are nickel cadmium, lithium, lead acid,

The best type of batteries for an Xbox controller are the nickel cadmium Duracell batteries, unless you get a SIXAXIS controller, which has lithium ion built into the controller.
That is nicad, pertaining to batteries.
A D battery is one of the most recognized batteries available. However, there are many types of D batteries. The most standard is the alkaline. It is not rechargeable. Those made of lithium, also non-rechargeable, offer a greater life than the alkaline. There are two types of rechargeable D batteries. They are nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium. The nickel metal hydride are now preferred as nickel cadmium are said to have environmental effects.
NiCd Nickel & Cadmium
Yes. It's used in Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.
