In addition, its puckered pentagon structure renders an ultralow thermal conductivity, making it a promising candidate for thermoelectrics applications. However, its thermoelectric transport has not been studied until now due to challenges in obtaining the atomic thin PdPS flake and further measurement. In this work, the thermoelectric performance of 2D PdPS is investigated. It is found that thermoelectric property of PdPS can be effectively manipulated via the delicate annealing treatment, which effectively regulate the defect concentrations. Remarkably, beyond regulating carrier concentrations and shifting the Fermi level closer to the conduction band, these defects also produce a large number of defect states. Consequently, ultra-high power factor of 0.648 mW<sup> </sup>m<sup>−1 </sup>K<sup>−2</sup> at room temperature is achieved, outperfoming other 2D materials reported to date. Furthermore, the anisotropic electronic transport properties of few-layer PdPS are further studied and an extremely high electron anisotropic ratio of 47.37 are obtained at 20 K.
