  Two-dimensional (2D) materials provide a platform for developing novel
spintronic devices and circuits for low-power electronics. In particular,
inducing magnetism and injecting spins in graphene have promised the emerging
field of graphene spintronics. This review focuses on the magnetic proximity
effect at the interface of 2D materials and magnetic oxide insulators. We
highlight the unique spin-related phenomena arising from magnetic exchange
interaction and spin-orbital coupling in 2D materials coupled with magnetic
oxides. We also describe the fabrication of multifunctional hybrid devices
based on spin transport. We conclude with a perspective of the field and
highlight challenges for the design and fabrication of 2D spintronic devices
and their potential applications in information storage and logic devices.
