The invention relates to a crystal form of 6, 7-dihydro-6-mercapto-5H-pyrazolo [1,2-alpha][1,2,4] triazoliumchloride and a preparation method thereof. The 6, 7-dihydro-6-mercapto-5H-pyrazolo [1,2-alpha][1,2,4] triazoliumchloride is a key intermediate for synthesizing the carbapenem antibiotic biapenem. The crystal form of 6,7-dihydro-6-mercapto-5H-pyrazolo[1,2-alpha][1,2,4] triazoliumchloride is characterized in that the X-ray diffraction spectrum of powder of the crystal form is represented by an angle of 2theta, and has peaks at 27.487+/-0.2 and 26.707+/-0.2, the intensity of the peak is 100% when 2theta is 27.487+/-0.2, and the ratio of intensity of the peak I/I0 is no less than 60% when 2theta is 26.707+/-0.2. The 6, 7-dihydro-6-mercapto-5H-pyrazolo[1,2-alpha][1,2,4] triazoliumchloride is prepared by the recrystallization method which abandons the column chromatography and has high efficiency and low cost and is more suitable for industrialized production.
