The pseudopotentials are determined for numerical "exact" basis sets.
To use them with CP2K you have to generate your own basis if not available
(as is the case for Ce).
There is also an atomic code on the cp2k web page that allows you
to generate basis sets. However, some experience is needed.

You can find all available pseudopotentials at
