Gel maturation time corresponds to the actual contact duration of the gel with the solution. The calculation was performed by segmenting the gel every 100 or 500 nm based on ICP analyses and determining the oxygen isotopic ratio in each slice from ToF-SIMS analyses (see Supplementary Information 4 for more details).
