The invention discloses an adjustable water-soluble battery adhesive, which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 2 to 5 parts of aliphatic dianhydride, 0.1 to 1 part of aromatic diamine, 15 to 20 parts of solvent and 1.5 to 2.5 parts of catalyst. According to the present invention, the oxygen group substituted biphenyl diamine is adopted as the aromatic diamine, such that the soft and hard chain segment structure distribution of the polyimide adhesive can be regulated and controlled, the compatibility with the aliphatic dianhydride can be increased, the adhesive can form the compact membrane structure, and the interface impedance of the battery can be reduced; according to the present invention, by using the aliphatic dianhydride and the 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenesuccinic acid dianhydride, the flexibility of the polyimide is improved, the good mechanical stability and the appropriate viscosity are provided, and when the polyimide is applied to the negative electrode of the battery, the cycle performance of the battery under the high current density charge-discharge condition is improved, and the influence of the rapid charge operation on the service life of the battery is reduced.
