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