A low-cost but scalable carbon film was successfully obtained via cellulose fiber carbonization. This cellulose derived film can be also applied as an alternative anode for lithium or sodium ion battery due to its natural mesoporous structure of the starting material which was excellent for ion storage. Furthermore, this new type of carbonized cellulose possesses electrically interconnected three-dimensional framework with advanced dual properties of anode material and current collector, afford to result in a higher energy density by eliminating the extra mass of inactive materials such as binder and carbon black in conventional designs. Electrochemical studies showed the film achieved a high capacity of 800mAh/g for lithium ion battery and a moderate capacity of 200mAh/g for sodium ion battery at C/10.
