A piece of works well with many uncountable nouns: a piece of work/coursework/research/advice/music/equipment/software ... (and many more)

"A piece of advice" is a very good one to learn and remember since people so often make the mistake of saying either "an advice" or "advices".
You can also say "a piece of information".

Hi!

a piece of work
a piece of the pie
a piece of the action
a piece of my mind

Could anybody give me the meanings of them?
Are they often used ?
I'm afraid that people may not understand them when I use these idioms in my writing?
Many thanks in advance.

Vctory OngIs there anything else that we can use a piece to be their collective noun?

Just a little aside: They are not necessarily collective nouns. In fact, most of them are not collective nouns.
