Metal oxides hold great promise as robust sonosensitizers for sonodynamic therapy (SDT). However, they usually suffer from limited production yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the fast recombination of ultrasound‐triggered electrons and holes. Herein, porous lanthanum (La)‐doped MnO2 (LMO) nanoparticles are firstly developed as promising sonosensitizers in SDT. The strategic introduction of La dopants greatly promotes the separation efficiency of ultrasound‐triggered electrons and holes of MnO2, endowing them with significantly improved ROS yield. Consequently, the LMO with polyethylene glycol decoration exhibits good SDT activity toward breast cancer cells. This work highlights the doping strategy for the development of enhanced ROS production of metal oxide sonosensitizers for SDT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
