ferroelectric ceramic exhibits high potential to engage in piezoelectric or high energy density storage applications. In this study, the structural, microstructural, electrical, ferroelectric and piezoelectric behaviours have been investigated in detail. The developed material crystallizes in tetragonal phase with a decrease in lattice parameter by substituting Sr
