AB  - Cost-effective, active and stable electrocatalysts are crucial for hydrogen 
      production via electrocatalytic water splitting. Here, we describe the 
      preparation of novel nanofibers (NF) made of Ni/Gd(2)O(3)/NiO heterostructures by 
      electrospinning. The fabricated materials showed high electrocatalytic 
      performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with onset potential values of 
      89 mV, which are very close to those of platinum (Pt). NiO chemical and 
      electronic properties were successfully optimized in Ni/Gd(2)O(3)/NiO coaxial 
      heterostructures; NiO NFs doped with Gd(3+) significantly enhanced its electrical 
      conductivity and promoted HER reaction kinetics. These NFs offer the distinct 
      advantages of long-term durability and readiness for hydrogen production via HER, 
      and also better performance than benchmark Pt catalysts. The successful 
      fabrication of these metal oxide NFs and nanostructures may represent a new 
      approach for the rational synthesis of efficient HER catalysts.
