That's not an easy task! Being successful in generating a new good pseudo-potential is 
non-trivial in general. Furthermore this element you want to treat within DFT poses some 
problems on the reliability of the commonly used XC functionals for systems with very 
localized electrons (such as 4f). I hope you are aware of such problems. That said, I 
remember that few months ago a research group generated PAW PPs for all the lanthanides 
series, so you might want to dig into the forum archives and ask them a PAW dataset for 
Ce. Other people who worked with Ce recently might be in the group of Stefano Fabris 
(Democritos at Elettra).
