1. A piezoelectric bio-organic film comprising compact nanocrystals of one or more biomaterials formed by homogenous nucleation and in-situ electric field, the nanocrystals having an average grain size between 100 and 800 nm, and the piezoelectric bio-organic film having a piezoelectric strain constant from 5 to 15 pm/V, piezoelectric voltage constant of at least 150×10−3 V m/N, and a relative permittivity of less than 10, wherein the one or more biomaterials constituting the compact nanocrystals include one or more materials of glycine, L-alanine, DL-alanine, DL-threonine, DL-leucine, or L-Phenylalanine-L Phenylalanine.
