We propose the superconducting van der Waals material 4Hb-TaS2 to realize the ℤ2 topological order and interpret the recent discovery of the spontaneous vortex generation in 4Hb-TaS2 as the vison-vortex nucleation. For the alternating stacking of metallic/superconducting and Mott insulating layers in 4Hb-TaS2, we expect the local moments in the Mott insulating 1T-TaS2 layer to form the ℤ2 topological order. The spontaneous vortex generation in 4Hb-TaS2 is interpreted from the transition or nucleation between the superconducting vortex and the ℤ2 vison in different phase regimes. Differing from the single vison-vortex nucleation in the original Senthil-Fisher's cuprate proposal, we consider such nucleation process between the superconducting vortex lattice and the vison crystal. We further propose experiments to distinguish this proposal with the ℤ2 topological order from the chiral spin liquid scenarios.
