- We consider a thermodynamically correct framework for electro-energy-reaction-diffusion systems, which feature a monotone entropy functional while conserving the total charge and the total energy. For these systems, we construct a relative entropy functional, which acts as a Lyapunov functional, and we also give an expression for the related entropy production functional. The main result of this note is the constructive derivation of an explicit entropy-entropy production inequality in a special situation, namely for a two-level semiconductor model of Shockley-Read-Hall type. Supposing that global bounded solutions exist, we show that the relative entropy decays exponentially along trajectories of the underlying system. As a consequence, these global solutions converge to the equilibrium at an exponential rate.
