The wireless smartphone chargers work on the principle of magnetic induction, much like a transformer. This requires a coil of wire in the receiving device. Your Di2 doesn't have that. It also requires close proximity, which defeats the point of not running a cord.

Why not run an extension cord? Or wire for an outlet?
