A plasmonic hybrid having Pd nanoparticles on plasmonic MoO 3 − x is developed by a facile solution process, and its plasmonic resonance displays reversible tunability upon oxidation/reduction. Under visible‐light irradiation, the Pd/MoO 3− x hybrid exhibits plasmon‐enhanced catalysis toward H 2 evolution from ammonia borane hydrolysis and the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction relative to dark conditions.
