Despite tremendous efforts in improving graphene-based spin transport devices the measured spin lifetimes are still orders of magnitude less than theoretically predicted. Contact-induced spin dephasing has recently been identified as the bottleneck for spin transport through Co/MgO spin injection and detection electrodes. It can, however, significantly be suppressed for devices with large contact resistance area products [1]. Simultaneously, a strong reduction of the charge carrier mobility is usually observed. We present a new method to fabricate graphene-based non-local spin valves on hexagonal boron nitride yielding spin lifetimes above 3 ns, spin diffusion length above 10 µm and large charge carrier mobilities above 30.000 cm2/Vs.
