An innovative 1D material— graphenized carbon nanofiber—is designed and synthesized. The nanofiber exhibits superior light‐scattering properties, ultralow absorption loss, and high electrical conductivity, and enables a wide range of applications. Simply integrating the nanofibers with the state‐of‐the‐art silicon solar cells leads to a leaping efficiency boost of 3.8%, almost five times higher than the current world record.
