The catalytic properties of palladium can be purposely tailored through adjusting its electronic states by the interactions with supports. The palladium nanoparticles supported on N‐doped carbon matrix are characterized explicitly as electron‐enriched states via the charge transfer from the support to the metal. The electron‐enriched Pd catalyst shows enhanced activity for catalytic reduction of aldehydes with electron‐withdrawing groups, whereas it is detrimental to the hydrogenation of aldehydes with electron‐donating groups.
