  Cellulose is the most abundant renewable natural polymer on earth, but it does not conduct electricity, which limits its application expansion. The existing methods of making cellulose conductive are combined with another conductive material or high-temperature/high-pressure carbonization of the cellulose itself, while in the traditional method of sulfuric acid hydrolysis to extract nanocellulose, it is usually believed that a too high temperature will destroy cellulose and lead to experimental failure. Now, based on a new research perspective, by controlling the continuous reaction process and isolating oxygen, we directly extracted intrinsically conductive cellulose nanofiber (CNF) from biomass, where the confined range molecular chains of CNF were converted to highly graphitized carbon at 90 °C and atmospheric pressure, while large-scale twisted graphene films can be synthesized bottom-up from CNFene suspensions, called CNFene (cellulose nanofiber?graphene). The conductivity of the best CNFene can be as high as 1.099 S/cm, and the generality of this synthetic route has been verified from multiple biomass cellulose sources. By comparing the conventional high-pressure hydrothermal and high-temperature pyrolysis methods, this study avoided the dangerous high-pressure environment and saved 86.16% in energy. These findings break through the conventional notion that nanocellulose cannot conduct electricity by itself and are expected to extend the application potential of pure nanocellulose to energy storage, catalysis, and sensing.
