Regenerated cellulose fibers from rice straws with a diameter of 10 to 25 μm and initial modulus of 11 to 13 GPa were prepared by wet spinning in rice straw/ N ‐methylmorpholine‐ N ‐oxide (MMO) solution. X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates that the rice straw regenerated fibers are classified as cellulose (II). From the regenerated cellulose fiber based on rice straw, mesoporous carbon fiber was prepared by carbonization. This observation indicates that a potential utility of rice straw as a new mesoporous materials.
