### Description

We have studied the electronic band structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), (8,0) 3 primitive cells 96 carbon (C) atoms doped with hydrazine (N${}_2$H${}_4$) and water (H${}_2$O). Van der Waals corrected density functional theory calculations using plane wave approach with periodic boundary conditions were carried out for the adsorption of the intermolecular interaction. The results indicate that hydrazine physisorbs to the surface of SWCNTs and carbon atoms still retains the formal sp2 hybridization. Furthermore, the electronic structures and Bader charge analysis of the considered complex reveal the band gap of intrinsic semiconductor changed from 0.6 to 0.4 eV, as n-type semiconductor. The configuration of hydrazine and water, hydrogen bonding network supported, are important key to occur donor state in physisorption doping process.
