In article number 2004867, Yiqin Shi, Guqiao Ding and co‐workers demonstrate the superior sonosensitization effect of N‐doped graphene quantum dots, which is believed to be 3–5 times higher than that of traditional sonosensitizers. More importantly, pyrrole N and pyridine N are believed to form catalytic centers in sonochemical processing of N‐doped graphene quantum dots. This knowledge is important from the perspective of understanding the structure‐dependent sonodynamic therapy enhancement of carbon nanostructure.
