"János Irinyi (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈjaːnoʃ ˈiriɲi]; sometimes also spelled János Irínyi; Romanian: Ioan Irinyi; 18 May 1817, in Albis (today part of Buduslău, Romania – 17 December 1895, in Vértes (today Létavértes, Hungary)) 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." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
