Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) bearing oxygen‐containing functional groups and inhomogeneous nanopores are successfully prepared by excimer UV radiation. The CNFs demonstrate potential for use as an anodic material in rechargeable Li‐ion batteries. Their improved electrochemical performances are attributed to the chemically bonded solid–electrolyte interface films on the CNF surface. This approach is also applicable to other carbonaceous electrode materials.
