With the goal of imposing shape and structure on supramolecular gels, we combine a low‐molecular‐weight gelator (LMWG) with the polymer gelator (PG) calcium alginate in a hybrid hydrogel. By imposing thermal and temporal control of the orthogonal gelation methods, the system either forms an extended interpenetrating network or core–shell‐structured gel beads—a rare example of a supramolecular gel formulated inside discrete gel spheres. The self‐assembled LMWG retains its unique properties within the beads, such as remediating PdIIand reducing it in situ to yield catalytically active Pd0nanoparticles. A single PdNP‐loaded gel bead can catalyse the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction, constituting a simple and easy‐to‐use reaction‐dosing form. These uniquely shaped and structured LMWG‐filled gel beads are a versatile platform technology with great potential in a range of applications.
