Abstract In this paper we deal with equations modelling the transport of electrically charged species in heterostructures by diffusion, drift and reaction processes. We show that for such models the free energy decays monotonously and exponentially to its equilibrium value. For this purpose we prove an estimate of the free energy from above by the corresponding dissipation rate. Exactly the same results are obtained for the fully implicit discrete‐time scheme.
