Herein, a brief and scalable strategy to convert bamboo and woods into uniform hollow cellulose fibers with micrometer-size through a simple delignification process in nitric acid solutions is presented. Next, these cellulose fibers are further transformed into individual microtubular carbon fibers by a carbonization treatment. The evolved carbon fibers show an amorphous organization, large interlayer distances (0.39-0.40 nm) and narrow pore size distributions (0-10 nm), consequently exhibit superior electrochemical performance (vs. Li/Li+) in comparison with practical graphite anode. A high reversible capacity of 435 mA h g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1), as well as competitive rate capacity (up to 150 mA h g(-1) at 2 A g(-1)) and stability over long-term cycling (76% capacity retention at 500 mA g(-1) after 500 cycles) is achieved. Furthermore, a majority of reversible capacity was delivered by these carbon fibers at an obvious low discharging-charging potential plateau (0-0.1 V) as lithium ion battery anodes. When the carbon fibers derived from bamboo and paulownia are tested vs. Na/Na+, reversible capacities of 320 and 302 mA h g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1) are delivered, respectively.
