Abstract Ferroelectrics with high electrostrictive properties are of great interest in fundamental researches and industrial applications. In this work, the phase structural evolution, dielectric properties as well as electrostrictive properties in barium strontium titanate [(Ba1-xSrx)TiO3, BST] lead-free ferroelectrics with x from 0.05 to 0.4 were investigated in details. High electric field-induced strain (∼0.2%) at 60 kV/cm are obtained in x = 0.05 and 0.1 compositions. More importantly, almost purely positive strains with ultra-low hysteresis (
