There are two widely-accepted wireless charging standards for mobile devices out today: Qi and PMA. You'll notice that the former is a considerably more popular option.
Please note that at least for the time being, wireless chargers trade speed for convenience. None of the available offerings on the market today can match the speed of the wall chargers that come bundled with today's high-end Android and Windows 10 smartphones.
