As a major challenge, sustainable energy management and energy self-sufficiency require microsystems that manage multiple energy operations in a single device. In this work, flexible thick-film structures with promising energy storage and electrocaloric cooling capabilities as well as piezoelectric properties are developed. The functional thick-film layer is based on relaxor-ferroelectric 0.65Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$– 0.35PbTiO$_3$ (PMN–35PT) directly deposited on a flexible polyimide substrate by an aerosol deposition method. The thick-film structures exhibit a promising recoverable energy-storage density of 10.3 J cm$^{–3}$. After extensive bending tests, the structures showed no signs of degradation. The high bendability and durability are confirmed by stable energy storage properties after bending up to a radius of 1.5 mm (2.4% bending strain) and 10$^5$ repeated bending cycles. The developed thick-film structures also exhibit a piezoelectric coefficient d$_{33}$ of ∼80 pm V$^{–1}$. Using two direct electrocaloric measurement methods, we demonstrated that the electrocaloric temperature change in the prepared PMN–35PT thick-film structures reaches a maximum of 0.87 K at 63.5 °C and 300 kV cm$^{–1}$, which exceeds the value of 0.72 K at ∼65 °C and 60 kV cm$^{–1}$ reported for bulk ceramics of the same composition. The PMN–35PT thick films prepared here are thick-film structures with excellent flexibility, promising for future multifunctional microsystems that manage multiple energy operations, enabling comprehensive energy harvesting, storage and conversion to thermal energy.
