  The isolation of graphene has triggered an avalanche of studies into the
spin-dependent physical properties of this material, as well as graphene-based
spintronic devices. Here we review the experimental and theoretical
state-of-art concerning spin injection and transport, defect-induced magnetic
moments, spin-orbit coupling and spin relaxation in graphene. Future research
in graphene spintronics will need to address the development of applications
such as spin transistors and spin logic devices, as well as exotic physical
properties including topological states and proximity-induced phenomena in
graphene and other 2D materials.
