a XPCS two-time correlation of Na-Mt in ultrapure water. b Static X-ray scattering and c schematic of nematic director alignment. d Two-time correlation of Na-Mt in 1 M sodium chloride. e Static X-ray scattering and f schematic of tactoid avalanche transitions. g g2 from two-time data in (a) and (h) fit of the relaxation time using Eq. S5. i Linear relationship between the hydration energy per water molecule for Li, Na, and K44 and log10 of the diffusivity determined from relaxation plots such as (h) in 1 M electrolyte.
