Introductory information Filename (filenames correspond to the nomenclature used for the figures in the manuscript): Figure 5: in this file there are data of of the rate of oxygen exchange from PIE measurements of 1% Pd/ceria cubes and rods. Figure 6: in this file there are data of the isotopic oxygen fractions of 18O2 and 16O18O from PIE measurements of a) ceria cubes, b) ceria rods, c) 1% Pd/ceria cubes and d) 1% Pd/ceria rods at different temperatures. Dates of data collection: March 2015 - November 2018 Key words used to describe the data topic: pulsed isotopic exchange, isotopic oxygen fraction Methodological information The surface incorporation or exchange rate (Ro) in Figure 5 has been calculated using Equation 1 following the procedure described within the manuscript. Data-specific information Figure 5: Temperature: the temperature the data were collected (Units:Kelvin) Ro: surface incorporation or exchange rate (Units: moles of oxygen per squere meter per second) Figure 6: Temperature: Temperature: the temperature the data were collected (Units:degrees of Celcius) Isotopic oxygen fraction: Isotopic oxygen fractions of 18O2 and 16O18O from PIE measurements (Units: %)
