Datasets from article entitled: Understanding Defect Generation on CeO2 and its Utilization for Enhanced Metal-Support Interactions in Ni/CeO2 Catalysts for Improved CO2 Methanation Performance

Processed analytical and performance testing data provided thorough characterisation of the catalysts to understand the effect of structure on low temperature catalytic performance. These include XRD data, IR, X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure, CO2 hydrogenation data, chemisorption data and TPR. The data are arranged and labelled in the same order they appear in the paper.
