János Irinyi (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈjaːnoʃ ˈiriɲi]; sometimes also spelled János Irínyi;[1] 18 May 1817 in Albis[romanian: Buduslau], Romania – 17 December 1895) was a Hungarian chemist and inventor of the noiseless and non-explosive match. He achieved this by mixing the phosphorus with lead dioxide instead of the potassium chlorate used previously.[2]
Irinyi also took part in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.[1]
