Summary:A reactor unit of a fuel cell system, in which carbon monoxide is converted to carbon dioxide in a carbon monoxide-containing medium (2), is provided with at least one oxygen-permeable, especially oxygen ion-permeable reactor wall (3). An Independent claim is also included for a process for the conversion of a carbon monoxide-containing medium in a fuel cell system using at least one oxygen-permeable reactor wall. Preferred Features: The reactor wall is hydrogen-impermeable and selectively oxygen-permeable. The reactor wall has at least one tubular membrane consisting of a ceramic material. Es wird eine Reaktoreinheit einer Brennstoffzellenanlage, die im Wesentlichen eine Umformung von Kohlenmonoxid zu Kohlendioxid eines kohlenmonoxidhaltigen Mediums (2) vorsieht, vorgeschlagen, mit der die Zuführung des Sauerstoffs explosionssicher erfolgt, die kein Nachfüllbehälter für gefährliche Chemikalien benötigt und gleichzeitig den Aufwand deutlich reduziert. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass eine wenigstens sauerstoffdurchlässige, insbesondere sauerstoffionendurchlässige, Reaktorwand (3) vorgesehen ist.
