In this paper the size-dependence of energy relaxation, which is induced by the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions and the electron-surface (e-s) interactions in noble metal nanoparticles, is investigated. Then based on the analysis and the derivation of the e-s coupling constant in metal nanospheres, the formula of the effective electron-phonon coupling constant G_eff of hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) is deduced. Moreover, the correctness of the formulae gets proved by contrast analyses of the calculated G_eff values and experimental values obtained from literature.
