Figure S1. Picture of the modified crystallization setup coupled with an optical microscope for recording purposes.
Figure S2. Selected optical microscope images of dendritic crystals adhered on inner glass surface for cuvettes with internal thickness of (1 and 2) 1 mm and (3 and 4) 5 mm.
Figure S3. X-ray diffraction spectra showing that the crystals grown in propylene carbonate comprise of both vaterite (blue) and ammonium chloride (green).

Figure S4. FT-ATR spectra showing that the crystals grown in propylene carbonate (PC) exhibit the typical absorbance of NH4Cl (green) at (A) higher wavenumbers and vaterite (blue) at (B) lower wavenumbers.
Figure S5. Raman scattering of dendritic crystals grown from a CaCl2 in propylene carbonate phase (0.2 wt. %) using the ADM method showing CaCO3 and NH4Cl peaks. After washing with water, only CaCO3 peaks remained.
