" but not the current generation chemistry batteries."
Check for "Saltwaterbatteries", they are starting to reach consumer markets and literally cannot burn as the energy is stored as ... salt water.

Seems like the peak was around 2017 but they never performed particularly well?[1]
The problem is if the promise from the name was true, they'd be everywhere - they're not, so invariably much like vanadiun-redox or iron-flow batteries it turns out all the other details make them more expensive and less performant.

Not necessarily. Lithium is still quite cheap, safety is not the number one demand - and it is mainly about optimizing production to achieve competive pricing.
So yes, mabye there are some blocking details I am not aware of, but otherwise I expect their time will come.
