Are we talking a particular battery chemistry, or are you going to be universal? How would you measure or define efficiency?

Actually an 18650 li-po battery for my mp3.. I've got options of using RF or or light rays directed upon a solar cell or photo diode.. Talking about efficiency I want to be able to generate up to 10w minimum

The highest efficiency would be a directly connected commercial charger run from any power source. RF charging is just a gimmick for lazy people. It is not that efficient and is the most complicated. It needs an RF generator circuit, and a detector and charge regulator circuit at the battery. It also needs a power source.
If you are just looking at alternate ways of charging the battery you could use solar cells, a wind or water powered generator or even a hand cranked one.

The best efficiency in "wireless" is to make the transmit coil on one half of a transformer core and the receive coil on the other half. The two halves are then touched together tighly when charging. You will get good efficiency that way.
