I am looking for a method in which I can prepare graphene-based quantum dots by using some oxidizing agents. I don't have an autoclave and don't want to use an autoclave. Please give your suggestions.
Electrochemical Method To Prepare Graphene Quantum Dots and Graphene Oxide Quantum Dots
GQDs/GOQDs are made using a simple electrochemical exfoliation process that uses two graphite rods as electrodes. A mixture of citric acid and alkali hydroxide in water is used as an electrolyte.

Dear Sabed, sonication of graphene oxide nanosheets in KMnO4 is another strategy which yields high quality graphene quantom dots and does not require an autoclave.
Below you may find the paper reporting this method.
Autotoclave is not necessary . Time and temperature is key. no autoclave gave longer time for smaples in oven. if only graphene quantum dots required then graphene plus some antioxidant materials. for carbon dots variety of carbon sources can be used
