First-order energy dissipative schemes in time are available in literature for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations, but second-order ones are still in lack. This work proposes novel second-order discretization in time and finite…

We first construct the global unique solution by assuming that the initial data is small in the $H^3$ norm but the higher order derivatives could be large. If further the initial data belongs to $\Dot{H}^{-s}$ ($0\le s<3/2$) or…
