In this study, Cu-supported ZIF-67 derivative/TiO$_2$ composite coating was synthesized to increase the conductivity and capacity of TiO$_2$ and apply the ZIF-67 derivative with excellent electrochemical performance to the integrated anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate in air will produce TiO$_2$; while the sintering of ZIF-67 in an inert atmosphere will form CoO/C composite. The Cu-supported ZIF-67 derivative/TiO$_2$ composite coating can be directly employed as an integrated anode for LIBs. It delivers a capacity of 649 mAh g$^{-1}$ after 500 cycles at a high current density of 1000 mA g${-1}$. Even at a high current density of 2000 mA g${-1}$, it still maintains a capacity of 445 mAh g$^{-1}$. The good electrochemical performance of the Cu-supported ZIF-67 derivative/TiO$_2$ composite coating is mainly attributed to the good conductivity and excellent electrochemical properties of ZIF-67, the inhibition of TiO$_2$ on reduction of CoO, and the steric hindrance effect of TiO$_2$ on ZIF-67 particles.
